Last week, the #9 (2A) Cowboys wrestling team visited Eagle Grove for a Tuesday night matchup against their old rivals. The home and away bleachers were filled to the brim for the short and one-sided dual that saw the Cowboys prevail 71-11.
Cole Wibholm wrestled first for C-G-D at 106, defeating Ethan Schreiber via tech fall in just 2:12. At 113, Paxton Redenius trailed EG’s Andrew Orozco briefly in the 1st period, but he quickly recovered and came back to win by fall in 3:27.
Angel Cortes lost his bout with 2023-24 state qualifier Dylan Terwilliger at 120, but Ryan Hartwig (126) avenged his teammate by pinning Hunter Waldo-Martinez in 3:30. The Cowboys picked up 30 additional points due to Eagle Grove’s open weight classes at 132, 144, 150, 165, and 215.
Adrian Phetxoumphone wrestled Jackson Babcock at 138 and improved his season record to 31-2 with the pin in a higher weight class.
Eagle Grove’s Hayden Schafer would earn his team their final six points with his win via fall over Caden Hauenstein (157).
Ryland Morgan (175), Charlie Campbell (190), and JT Kelso (285) closed the dual out in dominant fashion with 1st period pins.
