Extra points help ‘Cats edge Eagles | Wrestling

Each team won seven matches but Oak Harbor High School scored more bonus points for a 38-34 wrestling win at Arlington Thursday, Jan. 15.

” A great win — tough and came down to filling out the lineup,” coach Peter Esvelt said.

“Big matches were Austin Taylor (220 pounds), in his first varsity match this year, getting a pin, (and) Isabel Garcia with the decision at 106.”

The matches at 138, 145 and 152 “were pivotal,” Esvelt said, because the Wildcats picked up bonus points with a technical fall and two pins.

In addition to the wins by Taylor (whose pin came 42 seconds into the match) and Garcia (who won 11-6), the Wildcats picked up victories from Jeremy Vester (138, technical fall), Dymond Piper (145, pin, 1:54); Mark Johnston (152, pin, 3:24); Daunte Williamson (160, forfeit) and Tyler Adamson (285, pin, :42).

Oak Harbor (1-1, 4-4) travels to Renton at 6 p.m. Friday, Jan. 16, to meet Hazen and Liberty in the annual PanCan Duals.
