Wrestling 2012-12-06 vs Mt. Vernon

The Wildcat varsity wrestlers improved to 2-0 for the season Thursday night at OHHS with a 46-24 victory over the visiting Mt. Vernon Bulldogs

The Bulldogs brought a large JV contingent.  So many, in fact, that some of the matches had to be eliminated so the varsity meet could start.

Seventeen JV matches were wrestled, with the Wildcats winning 10, 4 by pinfall.

OH JV winners were Kylene Ayer, Alexia Mobley, Nina Manning (twice), Nathan Larsen (twice), Sebastian Ceasar, Gage Perner-Runkle, Brody Dedobbelaere and Montana Black.

In the varsity meet, the first two weights were forfeits - one to MV, one to OH.  Oak Harbor lost the first two wrestled matches and found themselves behind in team scoring 15-6.

Then the Wildcats got to business.  Cody Fakkema needed only 1 minute to pin his opponent, the Jahleel Vester won 10-6 to tie the match at 15 and Jacob Fitzgerald won 16-11 to put the 'Cats up 18-15.  Then, in the highlight match of the evening, Mark Johnston needed only 13 seconds to get a pin.  Josh Crebbin, CJ Shavers and Jon Lanningham all won by pin to put the match out of reach for the Bulldogs.

Oak Harbor lost two of the final 3 matches, with Ray Quinday getting a first-round pin.

The wrestlers are at home yet again next week, hosting Mt. Vernon again, along with Meadowdale and Glacier Peak in a double dual meet.  The JV start time that night is scheduled for 5:30pm.
