Baylor’s Brandon Brunner holds down McCallie’s Matthew Jones during their 138-pound match Monday night at Baylor. Brunner pinned Jones in 3:24 and Baylor won the dual 33-19.The rosy picture that was Baylor School wrestling to start the season is beginning to regain some clarity.
A snapshot marred by a seemingly endless string of injuries looked a lot better after the Red Raiders posted a 33-19 victory over McCallie.
The win was the fourth consecutive victory over a ranked opponent, and the list includes No. 3 Soddy-Daisy; No. 9 Bradley Central; Science Hill, which has since dropped from the top 10, and the sixth-ranked Blue Tornado.
The latest decision allowed the Red Raiders to improve to 15-3 — their three losses also coming to ranked opponents Cleveland, Maryville Heritage and Father Ryan.
Both schools will be in action Friday and Saturday in the Division II portion of the Tennessee duals championships at the Williamson County Agricultural Expo in Franklin.
