WRESTLING ROUNDUP

Dolphins get revenge on JPII

LowcoSports.com

After dropping a head-to-head matchup with John Paul II last weekend at the Bobcat Duals in Bluffton, the Battery Creek wrestling team brought a little extra juice to the rematch in The Palace on Wednesday.

The Dolphins flipped the script from their narrow defeat a few days earlier, rattling off six straight wins to take control and claim a 54-27 victory. Battery Creek was able to flip the outcome at three weight classes, as Nate Najar (132), Christian Fess (165), and Cooper Livingston (175) all picked up wins after losing to JPII on Saturday, resulting in the big swing in the final score.

Battery Creek is set to host the Region 8-3A duals at 6 p.m. Wednesday.

The Bucs’ only loss came to eventual champion Edisto, which beat Bamberg-Ehrhardt in the finals.
