In this third week of January, the Chesmont National reconvened and league duals took the spotlight across the county. Downingtown East opened up their home gym and took on the Warriors from Henderson, who they fell to last season with a lackluster performance. This year, the Cougars erupted and dominated Hendy for a 54-12 victory. East jumped all over the warriors and won 10 of 13 bouts. Mike James (114), Chris Fosmire (121), Beau Carlson (139), Declan Jewell (145), Declan McDowell (152), and Cade McDowell (172) picked up falls for East, while Nick Capell (160) grabbed a tech and Caleb Aikens (189) received a forfeit. Noah Fosmire (127) and Colin Smith (215) battled to small point losses and showed their grit! Max Zambrano (133) added a smooth major decision for the home team. The JV Cougars beat the Warriors 38-15, once again putting on an excellent performance! Now, East travels to Octorara/District III on Friday night for their annual George Heebner Classic. Best of luck to the Cougars! Keep the wheels rollin’!
