Okoboji/HMS wrestlers lose two duals by 5 points
Wrestling fans who like dual winners to be determined in the final matches were in luck on Dec. 16 at Rock Rapids, as three Siouxland Conference contests involving Okoboji/HMS, West Lyon and Central Lyon/GLR were decided by a total of six points.
It started with the opener, as West Lyon and Okoboji/HMS battled back and forth until the Wildcats were able to prevail, 39-35.
To go one better, the Pioneers and Central Lyon/GLR ended their dual tied at 37-37. The outcome was determined by Criteria E, with the Lions receiving one point for having accumulated the greater total number of falls, defaults, forfeits and disqualifications.
The nightcap featuring the Lyon County teams ended with West Lyon escaping with a 37-36 victory.
James Gellerman from H-M-S won both of his matches while Nick Bronstad finished 1-1. Bryce Dodge and Jack Mastbergen each won a JV match.
The Pioneers (2-4, 0-3) are off for the holiday break. They will return to action on Jan. 4 for a quad hosted by South Central Calhoun at Rockwell City.
