Wrestlers bow to NA, Holliston, Hudson, but beat Watertown
The Bulldog
wrestling team begins the tournament portion of its season this
weekend on a sour note. On Thursday evening the Canton grapplers
lost to host North Attleboro 43-24. Ian Mills (pin), Kevin
Connolly, Tyler Matt (pin), Darrius Wood (pin) and Kyle Hanlon
all had victories for CHS.
“We bumped up
our light weights in hopes of getting some wins,” coach Tom
Bartosek said. “Our only hope of beating North Attleboro was
going to our strength to compensate for our inexperience in the
upper weights. It didn’t work, but it was worth the try.”
On Saturday
the Bulldogs hosted Holliston, Hudson and Watertown. The mat men
lost to Holliston 44-28, defeated Watertown 18-13, and then lost
to Hudson 42-33.
Hanlon and
Donovan Lewis were triple winners. Matt Kelly, Billy Rothkopf,
Connolly, Will Alfano and Tyler Matt all had two victories on
the day. Andrew Burkowski, Kevin Lopes, Jason Matt, Chris
Parsons and Wood each had a single victory.
“We lost the
matchups,” coach Brian Caffelle said. “Other than Billy
Rothkopf’s win versus Hudson, we didn’t get the key wins that we
needed. We must have been reading our press clippings from last
week because we didn’t come to wrestle. We have the talent but
not the consistency.”
The Bulldog
wrestlers are currently 3-4 in the Hockomock League and 12-7
overall.
Chris Mills,
David Rosenberg, James Kelly, Mark Kisil, Chris Parsons and John
McCabe also had victories for Canton.
The grapplers
were scheduled to visit Stoughton on Tuesday and then compete at
the Hockomock League Tournament at Foxboro Saturday at 10 a.m.
