CHS wrestler Owen Teague(top) moves his Oakland opponent into position for the pinfall win on Thursday night
Facing a deeper and more experienced Oakland wrestling team on Thursday night, the Coffee County grapplers came up on the short end of the scoreboard in the dual meet. Originally scheduled to include Stewarts Creek, the Redhawks cancelled leaving Coffee County taking on Oakland in the 6 PM tussle.
A promising start saw Rein Bozich(145 pounds) fall in extra time by a 6 to 4 decision on an Oakland takedown in the last 10 seconds of the extra period. Owen Teague(152) followed that with an exciting pin to give the Raiders a 6 to 3 lead in the match. After a forfeit at 160 pounds, Reid Lawrence(170) dropped a hard fought 7 to 1 decision before pins and forfeits stoned and Raider momentum down the rest of the card.
The Coffee County wrestlers are back on the mat on Tuesday night when they travel to Chapel Hill to take on Forrest and Centennial. The three way dual meet will get underway at 6 PM.
