DUBOIS – The Clearfield wrestling team was no match for a talented DuBois squad Tuesday night. The Beavers won 10 of 14 bouts, including nine in a row, to rout the visiting Bisons.
The night started off well for the visitors, as Clearfield’s Dylan Graham earned a techincal fall in 3:50 over Dylan Zimmerman. Wyatt Stucke followed with his first-ever varsity win, an exciting fall 22 seconds into the third period.
After Nolan Barger won another thriller, 7-5 in overtime, it seemed the Bisons might have a fighting chance…but the Beavers’ upperweight strength began to show, as DuBois’ Mike Kennelly earned a major decision over Cody Mayhew at 152 to get the Beavers on the board.
Geno Morelli followed with a quick pin over Michael Beck, then Shane Marshall racked up 12 nearfall points in a 16-0 technical fall over Kody Hepfer, giving the Beavers a lead they would never relinquish.
Garrett Timko dropped a very tight 3-2 decision at 182 pounds to Brady Haines, then the Beavers went on a pinning spree – five straight falls at 195, 220, 285, 106, and 113 – to put the dual meet well out of reach for the Bisons. Frankie Aveni stopped the bleeding for Clearfield with a fall of his own at 120 pounds, his fourth win on the young season, but in perhaps the feature bout of the evening Christian Stone dropped a heartbreaking 5-3 overtime decision to DuBois’ Garrett Brown.
Clearfield returns to action Thursday at the Arthur J. Weiss Gymnasium as they take on the Bald Eagle Area Eagles. The match is scheduled to begin at 7 PM, you can hear all of the action on 93.1FM WQYX or online at www.qyxfm.com.
