On Saturday 1/10, the Cougar grapplers once again travelled down to Boothwyn, Delaware County to rumble at Chichester High School’s annual winter duals. The 6-team event brought some heat to the rainy Delaware Valley for sure. East held firm the entire day, and collected 5 dual meet victories to capture the 1st place trophy. They avenged last season’s loss to Upper Dublin with a 38-33 victory, and also beat Springfield (D) 42-29, Chichester 59-16, Bristol 68-3, and Upper Moreland 44-25. Declan McDowell (139), Charlie Dunbar (107), Cade McDowell (172), and Caleb Aikens (189) were all undefeated at the day’s end. Chris Fosmire (114) and Karsten Hodge (285) finished with a single loss. On the JV mat, the Cougars took the competition by storm and won 9 of 10 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. Stay Hungry!
