CL 43, Hinckley-Finlayson 27
The Wildcats won four out of five individual matchups during the middle of the match and took advantage of a number of forfeits at the heavier weights. Chisago Lakes defeated Hinckley-Finlayson 43-27 Thursday, January 18 at Hinckley.
Trailing 21-3 after the 130-pound match, the Wildcats used pins by John Hogie (135) and Shane Hultman (140) to pull within 21-15. They fell behind 27-15 after Clay Olson (145) was pinned, but Derek Silbernagel's win at 152 and Cameron Gilliam's major decision at 160 cut Hinckley's lead to 27-22. Then came two forfeit wins for the Wildcats before Jimmy Stone squeaked out a 3-2 victory at 215 for his first varsity win. A forfeit in the heavyweight match made the final score Chisago Lakes 43, Hinckley-Finlayson 27.
"Hinckley is a real young team," said Wildcat head coach Shawn Frederixon, "but they wrestled us tough. The forfeits enabled us to get a couple of guys in there other than our regulars. Clay Olson came out at 145, acted like he didn't know who his opponent, Eric Nelson, was and got an early takedown. Nelson, a very good wrestler, pinned Clay late in the first period. But Clay certainly wasn't intimidated. And it was really nice to see Jimmy Stone, one of our seniors, get his first varsity win."
