PCM wrestlers can’t find win column at West Marshall

STATE CENTER — The PCM wrestling team returned to the mat on Tuesday, but the Mustangs struggled against two solid programs during an 0-2 night in a road triangular hosted by West Marshall.

PCM went 4-7 in contested matches in both duals, losing 47-21 to the host Trojans and falling 54-17 to North Polk.

The Mustangs also were hampered by three forfeits in each dual as state-ranked Wyatt Wheeler did not wrestle.

The only Mustang to go 2-0 was Hewitt Brinegar, who won 10-4 and 11-2 in his matches at 150 pounds.

Tucker Wheeler, who is ranked fourth in Class 2A at 144 pounds, lost for the first time this season. He suffered a 12-4 loss to West Marshall’s Shane Hanford, who is ranked No. 5 in 2A at 138.

Joining Tucker Wheeler with one win were Kaliber Fry (113), Remington Fry (138), Sawyer Bouwkamp (157), Trent Nickelson (190) and Kaden Clark (285).

Bouwkamp, Nickelson, Clark and Tucker Wheeler all had pins.
