Rummel splits matches in Baton Rouge |
|
Martin Muller | November 24th, 2012 |
Rummel and Catholic each won five matches against each other Saturday morning,
but the Bears had more pins than the Raiders, and defeated them 44-25 in a
tri-meet at Catholic. Rummel did
not have that problem later in the day, winning six of the ten matches they
wrestled against Teurlings Catholic, all via pins leading to a 42-36 victory.
Still lacking in the heavier weight classes due to the success of the Raider
football team, Rummel started each match down by 12 points.
Yet they still showed why they finished only five points behind Catholic
last year and nine points behind Division I champion Brother Martin.
Rummel's Devyn Breaud, at 106 lbs., was the only Raider wrestler to score a pin
against Catholic, while the Bears had pins by Matthew Mire, Kevin Moran and
defending state champion Brandon Luckett.
Other Raiders winning matches were Tyler Mire, Matt Calcote, Tyler Frame
and Michael Darwin.
Rummel's Matt Calcote shoots for the deciding
takedown in the Sudden Victory period of his match with Catholic's
Brennan Taylor
The match of the day was at 126 lbs. between Rummel's two-time defending
state champion Matt Calcote and Catholic's Brennan Taylor.
Calcotte lost earlier in the season to Division II state champion Cody
Hill of Live Oak 3-2, and then was out with injuries for a couple of
weeks. Taylor, after losing in the finals of the Warrior Open to
Hill, has beaten Hill in two straight tournament finals, and on the way
pinned returning Division I state champion Jacob Dale of Comeaux.
Calcote took down and controlled Taylor in the first period for a 2-0
lead. Taylor rode Calcote for the entire second period to keep the
score at 2-0. In the third period, Calcote was warned for stalling
while riding Taylor, and with just over a minute remaining, Calcote was
cited for stalling again, this time giving Taylor a point and narrowing
the score to 2-1. Rather than risk Taylor scoring a 2-point
reversal at the end of the match, Rummel coach Rod Cusachs instructed
Calcote to let Taylor escape, tying the score at 2-2 when regulation
time expired. Cusachs counted on Calcote being able to take Taylor
down again, which he did at 0:14 in the Sudden Victory portion of
overtime, giving Calcote a 4-2 decision.
Against Teurlings Catholic, Rummel wrestlers Robert Fairchild, Tyler Mire,
Calcote, Joe Kerry, Tyler Frame and Michael Darwin all won via pins.
Teurlings had pins by Jacob Rees and Travis Thibodeaux.
In the final meet of the day Catholic defeated Teurlings 59-15.
