After a short hiatus, Downingtown East wrestling found itself with the credentials to compete in District 1’s 23-24 team post-season. With a record of 11-0, they were awarded the 11th seed in a 16 team bracket and slated to wrestle the 6th seeded Springford Rams. East travelled to Montgomery County on Thursday 1/26 to take on an old PAC-12 foe and fight for advancement in the District 1 tourney. It was not meant to be as the Rams collected a number of bonus points and beat the Cougars 37-20. Although East won 6 of the 13 matches, they were unable to grab bonus points and keep the team score close. Ricky Jewell (152), Felix Mason (215), Adham Abouraya (285), and Declan McDowell (127) collected minor decisions while Cade McDowell (172) and Valen Piff (121) stretched their leads for majors. The event was a great experience for this Cougar team and many lessons are to be learned. The team will travel to CB West this weekend for their inaugural tournament and a shot at some Bucks County glory. Good luck to the team and coaches! The season is moving quickly, so take advantage of every opportunity to get better as the postseason approaches!
