CUMBERLAND — The Boyceville wrestling team opened its season at the Island City Duals in Cumberland las Friday night, December 3.
A youthful and somewhat inexperienced Bulldogs’ squad, that featured five freshmen in its lineup, won all three of its matchups in the ten-school, dual-style tournament. A year ago, Boyceville finished just 1-2.
Boyceville bested Osceola 42-28 in the opening round, got past Phillips, 42-35, in the middle round and finished off the evening by dispatching Rice Lake 54-21.
Those five freshmen accounted for ten of the Bulldogs’ 23 wins in the tournament with first-time varsity participants Landyn Leslie and Zach Hellendrung finishing as the squad’s only two unbeaten wrestlers on the evening as both copped 3-0 records. Hellendrung rang up three, first-period pins in his high school debut at 220 pounds while Leslie also finished his first high school competition by pinning all three of his opponents.
Fellow freshman Alex Obermueller (138) went 2-1 as did seniors Bash Nielson (195) and Brayan Vasquez Martinez (170), juniors Noah Evenson (120) and Parker Coombs (285) and sophomore Ryker Benitz (145).
In its first dual of the tournament against Osceola, Boyceville picked up pins by Landyn Leslie, Paul Kurchner (152), Nielson and Helldrung and were awarded three forfeits as it won by seven points.
The Bulldogs had another tight match on thier hands when it took on Phillips in the middle round. The Loggers opened with a 24-12 advantage as it scored pin falls in four of the first six matches of the contest. But, Boyceville rallied to win 42-35 when Nielson, Helldrung and Evenson all registered pins and Vasquez Martinez (170) and Jack Gruenhagen (182) both received forfeits.
In its final dual of the night, Boyceville collected pins by Obermueller, Benitz, Hellendrung, Zane Pierce (106), Evenson and Leslie and three forfeits to account for its nine victories against Rice Lake.
The Bulldogs will travel to Cadot this Thursday for a dual before heading to Wisconsin Dells to participate in the annual Devils Duals on Saturday.
