The new year has begun, and Chesmont wrestling is off to fast start. On Wednesday 1/8, league action raged across the county and Downingtown East hosted neighboring Coatesville in a high-powered dual. The tide shifted on many occasions, but in the end, the Cougars prevailed over the ‘Ville with a final score of 33-22. Mike James (107), Chris Fosmire (114), Mike Brady (139), and Caleb Aikens (189) collected falls for the blue and gold, while Declan McDowell (133), Scott Zhang (160), and freshman first-time Varsity wrestler Shammah George (285) won crucial decisions. Praise also goes out to first-year starters Chris Munoz (121) and Colin Smith (215) who battled their opponents and contained their match scores to keep the team score in check. Also on the evening’s slate, the JV Cougars won 10 of 13 bouts to route the Raiders 46-15. Liam Aikens (127), Declan Jewell (139), Mohamed Elkhouly (152), Nick Capell (160), Kaiser Ahmad (172), and Colin Kimble (215) secured falls or tech-falls in the effort! Congrats to both teams on a strong league performance. Next up, the Chichester Duals at the week’s end. Fasten your seat-belts as the action continues to rise in 2025!
