Charger Grapplers Sweep at WCV Triple Duals; Defeat WCV, East Union, and NV
The 2018-19 wrestling season stated out with a bang last night as ACGC won all three of its dual matches at the West Central Valley triple duals. The Chargers topped Nodaway Valley, 55-18, West Central Valley, 43-34, and East Union, 45-22. The Chargers had several two time winners in head to head competition, with numerous matches won by forfeit. Three Chargers were undefeated on the day, with Gunnar Larsen, Gabe Rowley and Gavin Cornelison all going 3-0. They each won two matches in head to head competition and one match via forfeit. Picking up two wins for the Chargers were Seth Danker, Blaine Beeler, Trevor Suhr, Easton Benson, and Gage Buttler.
Coach Shawn Danker, who begins his twenty first year as the Tiger/Charger mentor, was upbeat about his team's performance. "I thought the guys wrestled pretty well for our first matches of the season. Conditioning is about where we would expect, but we have a few areas to clean up technically. We had a super team effort, with guys moving around for the betterment of the team in several key situations. It's great to be off to a 3-0 start."
The Chargers will travel to Greenfield on Saturday for the Nodaway Valley Invitational. Nine teams will participate with the first matches to begin at 10 AM.
