With six opens due to sickness or injuries, Boonville Pirates wrestling coach Christian Stock knew his team may win more matches but because of giving up 36 points on forfeit the outcome may not look as good during the Lexington Dual Tournament on Saturday.
While going 1-4 in the tournament, Stock said with all the people sick and hurt it really creates a situation where they have their backs against the wall. “We tried to go out and get better as a team and wrestle in every match this weekend,” Stock said. “Hopefully, we get through the bumps before we go to districts this weekend.”
The good news is that Boonville had four wrestlers finish the tournament with 4-1 records and another wrestler go 3-2. All eight wrestlers for Boonville also had at least one win in the tournament.
