The Mustang Wrestling Team was back in action on Thursday evening in the MHS gymnasium. The Mustangs hosted two conference opponents, Putnam County and Riverdale. The squad (missing two starters, Austin Shoup and Phoenix Parks) pinned their way to two-victories defeating Putnam County 54-24 and Riverdale 49-30.

As a team the Mustangs recorded 13 pins on the evening and five wrestlers were double pinners: Ethan Fischbach, Dylan Keller, Hunter Ferguson, Austin Keller and Tyler Todd. Tyler Todd improved his record to 17-7 and ignited the squad with his pinned of Riverdale’s state ranked, Nathan Rocker. Tyler now has 15 pins on the season. The Mustangs compete again on Friday and Saturday at the Princeton Tournament. The “PIT” as it’s commonly known, is like a mini State Tournament for 1A wrestlers.
