LEES CREEK — East Clinton and Madison Plains battled to a 24-24 tie Wednesday night but the Golden Eagles won the match on criterion with a greater number of points by nearfall in a tight pre-Christmas wrestling match at the EC gym.
The junior high and youth teams also competed. Landen Kaun was a 19-11 winner in one of the junior high matches while Mason Rack recorded an 8-2 victory.
The evening’s festivities also featured a rematch of last year’s battle between Santa Claus (Steven Sodini, director of special education) and the Grinch (Thomas Sodini, EC middle school teacher), with special guest referee Buddy the Elf (Sabina Elementary principal Matt Willian). Santa won the match and is unbeaten at ECHS.
Chris Rider, Colton Brockman and Owen Roberts won matches by pin for the EC varsity.
