 Click the thumbnails for photos and video highlights ESCANABA---The Escanaba High School wrestling dominated in the lower weight classes and beat a shorthanded Bark River-Harris Broncos team, 48-33, to wrap up a triangular meet in Escanaba. Escanaba got pins from Cade Krueger, Eli Gardner, and Charley McInerney at 112, 119, and 125 pounds, to grab a quick 18-0 lead on the scoreboard.  Escanaba’s Trent Turchin needed only 25 seconds to register a pin at 135, making it a 24-3 Eskymo lead. Then at 140, another entertaining match between Escanaba’s Adam Reimer and Bark River’s Ethan Messersmith. Messersmith was on the verge of a pin when he trapped Reimer, but the period clock ran out, and Reimer eventually pinned Messersmith at the 3:02 mark. That gave Escanaba a 30-3 lead, but David Mosse delivered the Broncos a pin over Spanish foreign exchange student Eloi Selles at 145 pounds. At 152, Escanaba’s Tommy Neumann needed only 38 seconds to pin Bark River’s Evan Siedlecki in a spot that normally would be held by Noah Gagne for the Broncos. Gagne, and his brother,171-pounder Kaleb, have both transferred schools, leaving huge holes in the BR-H lineup. BR-H was also without Wyatt and Dillon Raab, who are both dealing with shoulder injuries, leaving holes at 145 and 160 for the Broncos. Neumann’s win gave Escanaba a 36-9 lead. BR-H got pins from North Central Jets’ Drew Allgeyer at 189 and Lane Nehring at heavyweight, but Esky had enough points to win the match, 48-33.  |
