OAKWOOD — Clinton-Massie lost a heartbreaker to Oakwood 36-34 Tuesday night.
The Falcon wrestlers also defeated Dayton Christian 60-12 in the tri-match at Oakwood High School.
“We did really well against Dayton Christian and lost a tight one to Oakwood,” CM coach Spencer Running said.
The Oakwood match came down to 285 where Elijah Groh went against 2023 state qualifier Carter Stack. Groh has been rarely challenged at 215 so he moved up to face Stack despite the weight differential but was pinned in the first period.
“It was an exciting match that could have gone either way but didn’t fall our way this time,” Running said.
Winners for the Falcons against Oakwood were Conner Musser 113 by forfeit, Evan Jett 120 by decision 4-2, Gatlin Newkirk 126 by decision 13-5, Hunter Monds 157 by pin 2:32, Jackson Doyle 165 by decision 9-7 OT SV, Brendan Musser 190 by pin 2:56, Matt Fawley 215 by pin 2:52.
