By Chuck Hunt - Editor | Mar 7, 2021

The United South Central Rebel wrestling team ran into a tough Medford Tiger team on Monday, March 1, and lost by a score of 60-21.

The Rebels briefly held the lead a couple of times early in the match before losing the final seven contests.

After losing by forfeit at 106 pounds and by a fall at 113 the Rebels staged a comeback.

Bryce Sonnek won by a fall at 3:39 at 120 pounds, Byron Getchell took a 2-0 decision at 126 and Ethan Elvebak won by a fall at 3:19 at 132.

That put the Rebels on top by a score of 15-12.

USC had to forfeit at 138 pounds giving the lead to Medford at 18-15. However, a pin by Micah Hamson at 145 in 1:49 put the Rebels back on top 21-18.

Unfortunately that was the last time USC would score. They lost by forfeits at 152, 160 and 170 pounds, by falls at 182 and 195, and by forfeits at 220 and 285.
