Hyde-Woodstock: 72
Forman School: 3

Our last match of the day was against Forman. The score was very lopsided due to the small roster that the school brought with them. With only 3 official wrestlers and 1 exhibition match, this was to be a very quick match up. Mac McGuire ‘11 did not have much gas left in the tank from going the distance in his two previous matches and lost a heartbreaker of a match to his opponent in an 8-3 decision. Jake Schuster ‘10 had another quick pin of the day, sticking his man with a vicious arm bar. And Marcos Mercado ‘13 pinned his opponent at the 112lb class, finishing the day 2-1. Forman brought a 171lb wrestler for an exhibition, and Jon Sanbar ‘12 quickly dispatched of his third opponent of the day, making him finish with a 3-0 record. His performance on Wednesday shows a lot of promise for his future in wrestling, and I am excited to see what that will entail. So a more realistic score (minus forfeits) would be 12-3 for team score since the line-up was so low. We look forward to this upcoming Saturday the 6th when Hyde-Woodstock will host the Northern New England Invitational Tournament, a very large competition with evenly matched teams. Many of these young men can find success, and several are seeded wrestlers in the tourney. Let’s all go to support the Wolf Pack Grapplers, and cheer them on to hopefully get some pins and wins for the day.

Go Wolf Pack!
