| Getting ready for the Wildcats |
The Southern Rams hosted the Williamsport Wildcats in a huge dual meet with critical post-season implications. The winner of the evening's match would take the lead in the battle for the top seed in the 1A West Regional Dual Meet competition. The top seed earns the right to host the Duals which will be held on Wednesday, February 12th.

| Quentin Whetzel in control |
The evening began with some exciting JV action. Winners for Southern were Tanner Edwards, Skyler Glotfelty, David McRobie and Quentin Whetzel.

| Aiden Schwab pins again |
The varsity contest began at 113 with Jeremiah Mellinger taking on one of Williamsport's top wrestlers. Mellinger wrestled a great match, fighting off all of Myers' attempts to pin. Williamsport grabbed the early lead 5-0. The Rams took back the lead with back to back pins at 120 and 126 by Aiden Schwab and Brogan Kealy. At 132, freshman Kolton Lee faced off against returning state runner-up Landen Harbaugh. Lee held his own against the Wildcat stud before giving the fall with only one second left in the 2nd period.

| Jake Sweitzer with a 1st period pin |
Williamsport took the lead 15-12 after a major decision at 138 and Southern tied it up 15-15 after Elisha Skipper won by decision at 145. This would be as close as it ever got as Southern won each of the next five bouts to seal the victory. Pins by Jake Sweitzer, Declan McCann and Hunter Sanders and major decisions by Zach Schoch and Justin Ricther ran the team score up to 41-15 and clinched the victory for the Southern Rams.

| Zach Schoch in total control |
Williamsport won the final three bouts, but it was too little, too late. The final score was 41-33 and the Rams moved into the number one spot in the 1A west region. Next up for Southern is the final regular season dual meet against the Petersburg Vikings at home. It is scheduled for Thursday, February 6th in the Ram Arena.
