Southern at Brunswick in front of the student body

The Southern Rams hit the road Tuesday afternoon for a daytime contest at Brunswick High School against the home standing Railroaders.  The bleachers were filled with an excited student body who was ready for some action on the mat.  The Rams, coming off the big tournament victory last weekend, were ready to put on a show.

Brogan Kealy got things started with a pin

The match started at 126 where sophomore Brogan Kealy got the Rams on the scoreboard first with a second period pin.  After a forfeit at 132, sophomore Elisha Skipper scored another pin for the Rams to bring the team score to 18-0.

Brunswick forfeited again at 145 and Southern followed up with three straight first period falls by Jace Guy, Declan McCann and Hunter Sanders to extend the Rams' lead to 42-0.  Up next were Brunswick's two top wrestlers.  They were both able to earn wins for the home crowd to make the score 42-7 going into the upper weight classes.

Senior Hunter Park remained undefeated on the season by winning by fall at 220 and senior Cole Sweitzer remained unbeaten after being awarded a forfeit at 285.  The Rams led 54-7 going into the light weights.
