Wolverines gain first team win
Norm Gallant's Wolverines broke into the win column Thursday with a split in a home triangular with Crosby-Ironton and Park Rapids.
The Wolverines won seven straight matches in topping Crosby-Ironton 46-36. Devin Barthel started the streak at 145 after the Rangers had claimed five of the first six matches. The streak brought the Wolverines back from a 30-6 deficit.
"I think that's something we really needed," said WDC head coach Norm Gallant, who has been working with a young squad this season led by a promising crop of freshmen.
Lee Spencer (126), Tyler Wheeler (152), Blaine Snyder (160), Isaac Malone (182) and Dylan Johnson (220) recorded pins for WDC.
Johnson's pin at 220 against Crosby-Ironton's Andrew Gripentrog was the clincher. Johnson took over the weight class because of a knee injury to Caleb Monson.
"For him to get that pin against Crosby was big," Gallant said.
The Wolverines were held to five victories in a 48-31 loss to Park Rapids.
The Panthers notched victories in four of the first six matches. Spencer and Carter Wright gave WDC back-to-back pins at 126 and 132.
Barthel won his second straight major decision at 145 by defeating Cody Dravis 15-7. Snyder won an 8-7 decision at 160 and Malone scored his second pin of the night at 182.
Park Rapids won the triangular by posting a 53-15 win over Crosby-Ironton.
