Even though Mother Nature forced the cancellation of the South Loup Wrestling Invite last Friday, the Bobcat wrestlers still got some mat time at a duel with Overton last Tuesday.

The Bobcats fell to a larger Eagles team 30-48, but still brought home more experience and a handful of individual wins.

At 120 pounds, Paxton Bierman (14-13) was pinned by Austin Kennicutt in 35 seconds. Down at 126 pounds, Bo Brennan (19-10) defeated Wyatt Kyle in 1:26; and at 138 pounds, CJ Quandt (18-11) pinned Ty Kennicutt in 1:08.

Dylan Handley (4-16) at 145 pounds was pinned by Parker Walahoski in 3:22. Sophomore Jamie Tickle (3-8) at 160 pounds was pinned by Hayden Muirhead in 2:40; and Kyle Bloomer (2-15) was pinned by Joshua Henry in 2:29 at 195 pounds.

Finally, at 220 pounds, Dawson Doggett (12-5) pinned Jose Gonzalez Rodriguez in 1:03.

Other grapplers who did not wrestle, but won by forfeit were Josiah Coleman at 106 pounds; and Zane Ellison at 113 pounds.

The Bobcats will travel to Central Valley in Greeley on Friday with action starting at 11 a.m.
