Strong Effort For Wrestling Team in Brockton

The Whitman-Hanson Wrestling team travelled to neighboring Brockton Thursday night for a non-league match up against the Boxers. After climbing out to a quick 12-0 team score, care of two quick pins from light weights Kyle Tamulevich (106 lbs.) and Cory Reid (113 lbs), the Panthers dropped the next 4 matches. At that point with the team trailing 22-12 Captain Rob Bunszell pulled out a hard fought 5-1 decison to stop the slide. The next three matches went for the Panthers as well, including an impressive win by pin by sophmore Nate Perkins.
