Braves host a wrestling quadrangular

Montezuma’s three wrestlers won six and lost three individual matches as the Braves hosted a quadrangular meet on Thursday, Jan. 23.

The six bouts won by the Braves all were forfeits. Montezuma went 0-3 in matches actually contested.

Kennen Roadcap, Montezuma’s freshman 285-pounder, had no one to wrestle, so he picked up three forfeit wins on the night.

English Valleys-Tri-County, Baxter and Lynnville-Sully were the three visiting schools.
