BLANCHESTER — Blanchester won a pair of matches Wednesday in a three-team match at the Blanchester Intermediate School gym.
Kyle Denier was credited with the 100th win of his career, coach Scott Nicely said.
“He means a lot to us, just coming in every year and grinding it out,” Nicely said. “He kinda defines our program, the kind of kids we get, the tenacity. He comes in every day and gives it everything he’s got. He’s a great kid.”
Blanchester defeated East Clinton 48-30 and Williamsburg 54-24.
East Clinton lost to Williamsburg 36-24.
Those who did not receive a forfeit and posted two wins on the night were Johnny Schirmer (126) and Brent Hopkins (132) for Blanchester; and Thomas Wright (170) of East Clinton.
Overall, the Wildcats are 7-5 in dual matches.
“We are doing better than I thought we would at this point,” said Nicely. “We are so young. We have a lot of work to do but we have progressed lot better than I thought we would.”
