On Wednesday 1/22, Downingtown East wrestling once again hosted Chesmont National competition to do battle with visiting West Chester East. The Cougars also used this night to celebrate the careers of the seniors and the contributions of their parents. Downingtown put forth a steady effort winning 9 of 13 bouts and besting the Vikings 43-23. Mike James (107), Chris Fosmire (114), Valen Piff (127), and Declan McDowell (133) all secured falls while Frankie Hydutsky (145) and Scott Zhang (160) recorded tech falls. Cade McDowell (172), Caleb Aikens (189), and Colin Smith (215) earned hard-fought decisions on the back end to finish the evening. The JV Cougars waged another impressive war with 17 bouts and a 48-26 winning scoreline! Most of all, congrats go out to our 6 seniors: Chris Munoz, Valen Piff, Frankie Hydutsky, Mohamed Elkhouly, Scott Zhang, and Tommie Grizzanti! We thank them for their years of service and wish them well in all future endeavors! Best of luck Cougars!
