Four Greater New Orleans Westbank schools tangled Wednesday night at the John Ehret gym in an event more designed to provide experience than Westbank bragging rights.  Team scores were kept between Belle Chasse, Thomas Jefferson and Belle Chasse, but getting some early season time one the mat was the main goal of the event.

Officially, Belle Chasse was a winner over John Ehret and Thomas Jefferson.  The Cardinals, under first-year coach Michael Cronin, has 16 wrestlers on its roster, five more than Ehret and seven more than Thomas Jefferson, so hence a lot forfeits went in their favor.  That is not to say, however, that the Cardinals did not got their share of wins as they garnered three, two by senior Yancy Plascencia and one by senior Daniel Baradell.

First-year coach Brian Crayton of Ehret has a more balanced team with six upperclassmen and five freshmen and sophomores, and the Patriots won five of the six matches matches in which they participated, including pins in official matches by Quentin Reed-McKay, Joseph Davis-Lucas, Jack Fontenot and David Lae.  None was more exciting that the exhibition match between Ehret's Wilbert Sauervin and Belle Chasse's Kreg Exterstein.  The two freshmen, both participating in their first match, battled evenly for almost the entire six minutes until Sauervin was able to surge late for an 11-7 win. 

Dean Tessitore's Thomas Jefferson squad, which includes seasoned veterans Logan Griffin and Jeffrey Kirkland, wrestled seven matches and won four of them.  Griffin and Logan won their matches with early falls and were joined by Ryan Vedros and Paul Hebert who also scored falls for the Jaguars.

Rounding out the quad-meet was Fisher sophomore Troy Bourgeois who won an exhibition match against a Belle Chasse opponent.
