PARK RAPIDS – Winning seven of the first eight matches against Mahnomen/Waubun gave the Park Rapids wrestling team a split in the final home appearance of the season at the Century School gym on Tuesday, Feb. 7.
The Panthers opened this triangular meet with a 48-33 loss to Fosston/Bagley before rebounding with a 53-24 victory over M/W. Fosston/Bagley defeated M/W 66-18 in the other dual.
Against Fosston/Bagley, the Panthers held a 27-18 lead before having to forfeit four of the final six matches. Robby Sherk received a forfeit win at 106 pounds, Aiden Maanum used a takedown before the buzzer in the third period and an escape in overtime for a 7-6 minor decision at 120 and Wrigley Clark recorded a first-period pin at 126 as Park Rapids led 15-6. After F/B claimed an 18-15 lead, Henry Thorson’s forfeit win at 145 and Lucas Kritzeck’s first-period pin at 152 put the Panthers back in front. D’Andre Johnson’s first-period pin at 220 concluded the scoring for Park Rapids.
The Panthers took control early against M/W to salvage the split. First-period pins by Sherk at 106, Maanum at 120 and Thorson at 145 along with Jarrett Galzki’s 16-0 technical fall win at 132 sparked Park Rapids to a 41-6 advantage. Galzki had a takedown and two nearfalls in the first period, a reversal and a nearfall in the second period, and a nearfall in the third period in his win. Corbin Schiller (at 138) and Kritzeck (at 152) received forfeits in the early going. Pins in the second period by Cooper Darchuk at 182 and Johnson at 285 capped off the win.
The split gave the Panthers a 9-13 record in dual meets. F/B improved to 8-10 while M/W fell to 4-16.
