Soddy-Daisy and the Bradley Central Bears wrestled to a virtual draw Tuesday night, but the Trojans used the only bonus points of the dual to secure a 27-21 win at home.
The District 8-AAA teams split the 14 matches evenly, winning seven apiece, with Soddy-Daisy’s two pins in the first three matches serving as the difference.
“Whether you slip into them, luck into them, however you can get them, you’ll take it,” Trojans coach Jim Higgins said of the bonus points. “We kind of expected that it would be pretty evenly matched.”
The dual started at 220 pounds, and Soddy-Daisy raced to a 15-0 lead.
Ty Boeck and Jacob Allen picked up pins at 220 and 106 pounds, respectively, and Addison Roberts won a 2-1 decision at heavyweight in between.
