FILLMORE — Despite a pair of forfeit wins being awarded to host Fillmore/Keshequa to open the battle on Wednesday, Avoca/Prattsburgh buckled in and delivered a magnificent performance behind seven overall victories on the mat, as the Titans soared their way towards victory over the road by a 40-30 count in Fillmore.

Fillmore/Keshequa led off the night with back-to-back forfeit wins at 189 and 215 pounds, with Gage Hartman and David Bower taking each decision, respectively. In between two more forfeit wins was the team’s lone win in competition, as Alivia Cartwright battled right down to the wire with Avoca/Prattsburgh’s Devin Stamets, finding her way towards a pinfall win with nearly a minute left in the final period.

Graham Howe (110 pounds) and Ryan Vedder (132 pounds) chipped in with the team’s remaining triumphs, both via forfeit.

“Liv wrestled really well for us tonight,” said Fillmore/Keshequa coach Jarrett Vosburg. “Some others wrestled well, but we just came up a bit short in the experience column. We are still moving in the right direction in a season that’s all about making improvement. We’ll take a break for the holiday weekend, and then get ready for another set of challenges that lie ahead next week at Bolivar-Richburg.”

Fillmore/Keshequa will now get set for action over the holiday break, as they pay a visit to Bolivar-Richburg to partake in the annual Wolverine Scuffle Dual Tournament, which begins next Wednesday afternoon at 1 p.m.

The team will return to regular season action on January 3, when they visit Alfred-Almond at 6 p.m.
