MORRISVILLE, NY - The Apprentice School wrestling team opened
their 2008-09 season with a pair of dual match victories at the
Morrisville State College Duals on Saturday.
In their first match the Builders faced the hosts Morrisville
State Mustangs and came out with a 23-22 victory. The
Builders started first as freshman Marcus Chevres recorded a 15-7
major decision at 125 pounds. After falling at 133 and 141
pounds, the Builders scored victories at 149 by Matt Perry (14-3
major decision), 157 by Ricky Anderson (fall in 1:45) and 165 by
Will Harcum (fall in 1:07) to take a 20-9 advantage. The
Mustangs answered with three straight victories to take a 22-20
lead heading into the heavyweight match. Senior Cecil Lee
scored a 4-2 overtime victory at heavyweight to give the Builders
the 23-22 win.
The next match saw the Builders face the University of Scranton
and they recorded a 28-18 win. Apprentice School (2-0) never
trailed in the match as they recorded falls from Chevres and
Anderson in the first four weight classes to take a 15-6 advantage
and never looked back.
"It was a great start to the season," said Apprentice School
Head Coach Bruce Shumaker. "17 guys wrestled today with a lot
of freshmen in the lineup and everyone gave a good effort."
Next up for the Builders will be the Washington & Lee
Invitational on November 8 in Lexington.
