Coalers win three of their four matches, prepare for Rumble

    The Coal City varsity wrestling program picked up three wins over their four matches this past week, including two victories in conference.
    The Coalers started the week with dominating wins over Plano and Seneca, earning a shutout over the Irish, while holding the Reapers to only two individual wins.
    Coal City also picked up a convincing win over Bishop McNamara, dropping two matches from major decisions, and one more from a forfeit. Other than that, the match leaned heavily in the Coalers’ favor, thanks to a handful of forfeits, especailly at the heavier weights.
    Coal City’s only loss of the week came against Aurora Christian.
    “We thought they were 50/50 matches at 106, 120, 145 and 195. We came up with a huge pin at 195,” said Coaler coach Mark Masters. “We have to be perfect to have a chance to beat these guys in a dual.”
    The Coalers were missing their usual wrestler at 138, which led to a forfeit, but they also saved a couple of team points by not getting pinned at 113 and 132. It was a learning experience for the CCHS matmen.
    Coal City will host Prairie Central, Lincoln Way East and Plainfield East on Saturday as they prepare for the Rumble in the Land of Lincoln next week, which kicks off on Wednesday.
