The Shorewood wrestling team swept a pair of matches Thursday night against Cedarcrest and Mount Vernon. The double dual, hosted at Monroe High School, began with the Thunderbirds facing off against the Red Hawks of Cedarcrest.
Junior Troy Halloway-Beach opened the event in the 195lb match. After falling behind 4-0 in the first period Halloway-Beach rallied to tie the score in the 2nd before pinning his opponent at the 3:44 mark.
By the time senior T-Bird Rhaye Samson earned his team-leading 14th win of the season by pinning his opponent in just 29 seconds, Shorewood had built a 30-0 team lead. Cedarcrest would win two of the next three weights, but the rally was short lived. A pair of one point victories by Shorewood's Elias Thorne at 138lbs and Fidel Chishungu at 145lbs gave the T-Birds an insurmountable 42-9 advantage.
In the final match of the dual freshman Phil Ball picked up his first varsity pin of the season at the 2:12 mark for a final team score of 60-15.
Shorewood's second match of the night was a rematch against Mount Vernon. Mount Vernon, hoping to avenge a 39-36 loss on December 16th, came out strong with two first round pins at the 220 and 285 pound weight classes. Shorewood relied on superior team depth and close victories to quickly end all hope for their opponent as they pulled away for a 54-15 victory. The win was Shorewood's 4th victory in a row.
Shorewood wrestles next this Saturday, January 10, at the Shoreline Invitational at Shorecrest High School. The first round of wrestling begins at 8:30am and finals are estimated for 2:30.
