Wrestlers Start Season by Beating Bristow and Sperry
The Jr High and Varsity wrestling teams won 2 duals each Tuesday night in Bristow. The CHS varsity beat Class 2A 8th ranked Sperry 43-27 and then upset Class 3A 5th ranked Bristow 37-36. The Cardinals trailed the Purple Pirates 36-25 with 2 matches left in the dual. Michael Pitts got a fall at 160 lbs to close the gap to 36-31. At 171 lbs Collinsville sent newcomer Michael Maul (Maul moved to Collinsville from Perkins) to the mat to secure the win. Maul took his opponet down, ran a chicken wing bar arm and got the fall in :58. It was a good start for the Cardinals who hope to use this momentum to secure many more wins this season. The
Jr High wrestlers trounced Sperry 60-6 and then beat Bristow
48-15. The Jr High Cardinals will travel to Oologah this weekend
for a tournament and both teams will be in action Tuesday the
