The Highland County Press-
The McClain varsity and JV wrestling teams traveled to Stephen T. Badin High School in Hamilton on Tuesday for a tri-match with Badin and Cincinnati Hughes Center.
Last year, McClain and Badin tied 30-30 with McClain ultimately meeting the tiebreaker criteria, thus making the final score 31-30. This year's match proved to be another thriller with the Tigers winning 60-12 against Cincinnati Hughes and 48-30 against Badin.
McClain opened the night with a dual match against Hughes Center, an inner-city Cincinnati school.
This match was rather lopsided, with McClain winning 60-12.
In the rematch with Badin, McClain struggled early with Badin scoring the first 24 points.
The Tigers needed to string together a great number of wins to pull this one out, and they met the challenge.
Of the next 54 points scored, the Tigers scored 48 of them, as the Tigers won the match by 18.
With their first two duals of the year under their belts, the Tiger grapplers now stand at 2-0.
