Hurons runner-up in Division 4
(BATTLE CREEK) — UPDATED FROM THE STATE FINALS–Runner-up in Division 4. Has a nice ring to it. The Hurons ended up on the short end of a 45-22 score to powerful Addision (38-1) to finish higher than any other wrestling team in school history, taking home the runner-up trophy.
“Addison has been favored all year. I think we competed with them quite well,” said Huron coach Pat Lamb. “I don’t think there is anyone in Division 4 that could have given them a run.”
The Hurons got on the scoreboard when Chris Rhode took a 7-4 decision, after Addison had a 4-0 lead.
Pins of Tyler Gorlewski and Scott Kamyszek had the Hurons down 16-3.
Brian Krueger flipped his man and notched a pin and Tharon Wilk won in overtime to make the score 16-12, Addison.
Then Bret Freel came up with a pin to give the Hurons an 18-12 lead.
Mike Mierzwinski was pinned in the second round then junior Dylan Centala went to work. Centala scored an 18-7 win to even the team score at 22-22.
Addison answered with a pin over Alex Matthews, then an 11-4 win over Cody Wenzel (140), Tyler Schuiteman, Jerome Gapczynski, and Matt Tomas to end the scoring.
