On Saturday 1/24, the Cougar grapplers journeyed up to Bucks County to compete at CB West’s third annual “Battle Of The Buck!” It was East’s third trip to the event, and after placing second last season, sights were set a little higher. But, the challenges mounted and the Cougars battled hard to finish 4th. They amassed 156 points with 13 point-carrying wrestlers entered and 4 back-ups on their coattails. With 5 place-winners, the team performed reasonably in the 16-team tournament. Charlie Dunbar (107), Declan McDowell (139), Cade McDowell (160) claimed gold medals, while Chris Fosmire (114) secured a silver. Nick Capell (152) dug deep and found his way to a 3rd place finish. Ultimately, it was a great day of wrestling for East, and the stage is set for the final third of the season. Up next, more league action with an old Southern Chester County foe. See you then!!
