The Cougars take out the Vikings in home opener!
On Wednesday evening 1/14, the Cougar wrestlers opened up their den for another league dual against visiting West Chester East. With the home crowd in full support, D-East executed a strong team performance and defeated the Vikings 63-3, winning 13 of 14 bouts. Wade Cummings (126), Jude McDowell (138), and Jason Gibson (182) recorded falls while Austin Lillis (145) and James Strommer (113) secured technical falls. Also contributing were major decisions by James Meyer (160) and Alec Horne (170). Brent Czajkowski (195) revisited his Viking opponent from two weeks ago and collected the “revenge” win in a sound 5-1 victory. The Cougar JV contingent also impressed with wins from Jack Clay (152), Josh Wileczek (195), Carter Regitz (195), Jarrett Hansen (113), Shea Milligan (126), Wayne Salt (145), Luke Moran (145), and Brendan McGinley (220). Congratulations on another fine league outing! Next up, the prestigious Tom Hecker Duals at Garden Spot HS on Saturday. Best of luck Cougars!
