Manistee Wrestlers Top Mancelona, Fall to Manton

“We could have defeated Manton, too,” coach Chris Codden said. “It was a chess match, but they played better chess than me. But, we’ll see Manton again.”  Codden said that he had some junior varsity wrestlers in the mix, and with hindsight, he would not have done that.

Double winners for Manistee were: Alex Myers (103), Caleb Bailey (119/125), Nick Carter (125/130), Tyler Fogarty (140) and Raul Torres (heavyweight). Winners against Manton were: Myers (103), Bailey (119), Carter (125), Tyler Fogarty (140), Jon Hogier (145), Cody Polcik (215), and Torres (heavyweight).

Manistee wrestlers losing their matches against Manton were: Brian Fisk (112), Tucker Bruce (130), Dakota Girard (135), Luke Fogarty (152), Dan Wehrmeister (160), Tyler Knudsen (171), and Nathan Rybicki (189).

Winners against Mancelona were Myers (103), Brian Fisk (112), Kara Gunia (119), Bailey (125), Nick Carter (130), Tyler Fogarty (140), Luke Fogarty (145), Jesse Kelly (152), Dan Wehrmeister (160), Nathan Rybicki (189), and Torres (heavyweight).  Losing against Mancelona opponents were: Tucker Bruce (135), Tyler Knudsen (171), and Alex Waterman (215).

“We improved our duals to where the team’s almost at .500, better than probably the last 10 years at Manistee,” Codden said.
