Four Husky grapplers won all three of their matches Friday, as Sweet Home captured its own tournament title.
Joe McCaslin, 112; Trevor Tagle, 140; Colton Cooley, 160; and Chris Kelly, heavyweight, won all three matches. 189 pounder Greg Castenada won two matches by falls.
Sweet Home easily upended Douglas 69-9, defeated an always-tough Silverton squad 35-29 and downed neighbor Lebanon 48-21.
“We had a good night,” Coach Steve Thorpe said. “We still have some guys who aren’t in shape but they will be soon.”
Coach Thorpe said that overall, he was pleased with the way his Huskies competed.
“We’ve gotten back to drilling on the basics in practice,” Coach Thorpe said. “Our younger guys really stepped up and did some good things.”
Coach Thorpe said the matchup with Silverton was a tough one, with each team winning seven weight classes.
“The difference was that we won by more pins and scored more points,” Coach Thorpe said. “It was tough wrestling. They are a very well coached team.”
The Huskies had three freshman in the varsity lineup at 103, 112 and 125 and Ben Brewer competed at 189 against Douglas.
After an intense first two weeks of the season schedule, the Huskies will compete only Saturday this week at Corvallis. Opponents will include Corvallis, Mountain View, North Eugene and Sheldon. Action starts at 10 a.m.
The Husky second varsity will compete at a varsity tournament also on Saturday at Central Linn. Wrestling starts at 10 a.m.
