In 2025’s edition of “the Battle of the Brandywine,” the West Whippets travelled to Devon Drive for the annual showdown. Their firepower proved too much for the Cougars and the visitors won 33-24. Unable to score consistent bonus points or secure the coveted 7th win, East fought valiantly but came up short. Frankie Hydutsky (145) and Caleb Aikens (215) collected the only solid bonus points of the evening with techs, while Cade McDowell (189) and Nick Capell (152) won major decisions. Scott Zhang (160) earned a decision and Christian Fosmire (121) overcame a significant size difference and scoring deficit to win 7-6. East’s JV contingent were more successful with a 42-23 victory and 9 of 13 bouts won. Corbin Cywinski, Jacob Lucier, Jonah Myers, Tommy Robson, Garrett Knott, Mo Elkhouly, Pat Macauley, Karsten Hodge, and Liam Aikens all posted wins. East Varsity finishes the dual meet season 9-3 while the JV concludes at 6-2. Next up, the final regular season event for Varsity at Interboro this weekend and the JV county championships on 2/17! GO COUGARS!
