On the first full night of TRC wrestling action, an intriguing match-up occurred in Chatfield. Just days removed from GMLOS taking first, the Gophers second, at FCLMC’s Holiday Invite, the teams took to the mats for a league dual. The lead changed hands four times with the home Gophers coming from behind twice to notch a good win. GMLOS took the first two weights (9-0). Chatfield then took three straight (18-9). The Bulldogs took four of five in the middle weights. Only Nathan Goldsmith posted a win in that span for Chatfield, but it was a nice one (8-5 decision over #7 at 138 Daniel Smith). GMLOS led 31-21 after 170. Gophers Grady Schott (182), #9 at 182 Davontae Goldsmith (195), and A.J. Karver (220) then rattled off three straight pins, giving Chatfield an insurmountable 39-31 lead. The Gophers prevailed 39-37. Cael Bartels (120), Cody Guenther (126), and #4 at 126 Seth Goetzinger (132) had Chatfield’s early three-match win streak, all pin wins. GMLOS competed without ranked wrestlers Anthony Romero (#2 at 106) and Jackson Hale (#2 at 132). It was the Gophers’ first dual match.
