On Saturday 1/11, the Cougar grapplers once again travelled down to Boothwyn, Delaware County to rumble at Chichester High School’s annual winter duals. The 5-team event brought some heat to the frozen Delaware Valley for sure. East started slowly, but increased their focus to finish strong and secure a 3-1 mark on the day. They lost to Upper Dublin in a narrow defeat 29-34, but bounced back to beat Springfield (D) 44 – 16, Chichester 49 – 16, and Marple Newtown 57-12. Valen Piff (127), Declan McDowell (133), Scott Zhang (160), Cade McDowell (172), and Caleb Aikens (189) were all undefeated 4-0 at the day’s end. Mike James (107), Chris Fosmire (114), Chris Munoz (121), Mike Brady (139), and Frankie Hydutsky (145) finished with 3-1 records. In the JV room, the Cougars took the competition by storm and won 17 of 23 bouts! Job well done by the entire squad! Next week brings more Chesmont league action mid-week and another individual tournament at Octorara at the week’s end. Press On!
