ARLINGTON — The Arlington boys wrestling team endured some tough matches to defeat Marysville Getchell 59-15 Jan. 26.
After three forfeits given to Arlington, 120-pound Christian Evanger “gutted out a win in his first match back since a severe shoulder injury in early December,” Arlington assistant coach Ben Mendro said.
Then at the 145-pound weight class, Arlington’s Jeremy Nygard took on MG’s Rage Quick in a “valiant” match, but “Nygard broke open a close match in the third round and was able to get the pin with 14 seconds left,” Mendro said.
The best match of the night was between Arlington’s Riley Oakes and Michael Stewart in the 152-pound weight class.
“It was back and forth to a 6-6 tie at the end of regulation,” Mendro said. “In sudden-death overtime, Oakes was able to get a tough take-down right at the edge of the mat to win it.”
