CHENANGO COUNTY – The powerful Bears of BGAH, Trojans of Greene, Blackhawks of Oxford, Marauders of Sherburne-Earlville, and Vikings of Otselic Valley each saw dual meets in the high school wrestling realm last week.

• Bainbridge-Guilford-Afton-Harpursville, dropped two more teams en route to the Section IV Dual meet this past weekend – which they subsequently won. However, prior to their championship weekend, the Bears trounced both Deposit-Hancock and Chenango Valley to close out the week.

Prior to the Section IV dual meet – BGAH held an overall record of 11-4 going into their Wednesday night, Jan. 25, matchup with Deposit-Hancock.

The Bears rolled over D-H by a score of 60-19, taking 10 of the potential 14 matches – 195 pounds no match was wrestled.

Despite taking the win in a landslide, BGAH would simply win due to a more complete lineup – as they claimed nine of their 10 victories by way of forfeit.

Starting at 145 pounds for the dual, Shane Hoover pinned Levi Wormuth of D-H in 3:07 – this marked the first and last actual match win for the Bears.

With forfeits from 152 pounds all the way through 285 pounds – no match at 195 – BGAH claimed the lead at 42-0. Deposit-Hancock did then battle back with a win over Dylan Decker at 99 pounds, due to a pin in the first period at 1:49. With forfeits at 106 pounds, 126 pounds, and 138 pounds – BGAH had sealed the win, however, dropped losses at 113 pounds, 120 pounds, and 132 pounds to close out the sloppy win.
