The Superior High School wrestling team won five matches in its 51-30 loss Tuesday night in the SHS gym.
Brandon McClure (138 pounds) and Oscar Flaherty (220) won their matches with pins, and Logan Stone (132), Dylan Lowney (285) and Jack Androsky (120) won by forfeits.
“It was an exciting night,” SHS coach Bob Coleman said. “The score does not show that but we had some really exciting matches at 152-195 pound weight classes, including at 152 pounds where Gabe Anderson had the best match of this season, despite losing 12-6. He was right there, but just could quite pull it out.
“The Inexperience just got the best of best of us. Our goal was to be aggressive and mentally tough and we really made some big steps in that area. It’s coming, we just need to keep focused and working hard then our time will come.”
The Spartans wrestle at Boomer tonight (Friday) then host Ashland Tuesday. Both matches begin at 7 p.m.
