Clear Creek Middle School rolled to two more league wrestling wins.
The Bobcats welcomed the Pickens Dragons and Dawson County Tigers to the CCMS gym last Wednesday. Rival Pickens was up first, and the Bobcats mauled their southern rival for a 78-10 victory. The Tigers put up a more formidable challenge, but CCMS still won with room to spare, 54-29.
The shorthanded Dragons forfeited four bouts and spotted CCMS 24 points. Through the first five bouts, Clear Creek led 15-10 before winning the final 11.
Brantley Fain (77 pounds) got Clear Creek’s winning day underway with a pin. Pickens did the same at 84 pounds, and Bobcat Rudy Morales (91) kept the pin tread alive.
The Dragons secured a major decision at 106 for their remaining win. Bobcats Christian Perez (113), Daniel Escobar (120), Hunter Newhart (132), Jaxon Crater (138) and Abraham Gary (154) were all victorious via pin fall.
Keigan Brookshire added three team points to Clear Creek’s tally with a decision at 126. Pickens forfeited to Elieso Ramos (144), Jorge Garcia (165), Madden Hopkins (185), Brian Santizo (215) and Fabian Perez (285).
Following Fain’s decision to get the match started versus Dawson, Gauge Crump (84) secured the first of 9 Clear Creek pins. Also earning pins in the dual were Bobcats Perez, Brookshire, Newhart, Crater, Ramos, Garcia, Hopkins and Fabian Perez.
Clear Creek’s Jason Perez (106) was also victorious with a technical fall while Santizo won by decision.
The Bobcats have a 4-0 league record and will return to the mat after Thanksgiving.
