Carson wrestling rolls to easy wins

The Carson High wrestling team kept rolling along to stay unbeaten on the season in dual meet action with two wins on Wednesday at home.

Carson beat North Valleys 50-18 and Reno High 68-12. The Senators were able to even though they were still not at full strength with two of the top wrestlers not going on Wednesday: David Cadwallader at 215 pounds and Robbie Bozin at 119.

Cadwallader was out with a dislocated kneecap and Bozin was out with an illness. "Hopefully we'll get him back next week," said Carson co-coach Tim McCarthy about Cadwallader.

Carson also went without a wrester at 130 on Wednesday. Kevin Riggin could eventually end up at 130, although he may also end up at 135. Riggin wrestled at 135 on Wednesday. "We're doing a little bit of juggling in the lineup," McCarthy said.

Against North Valleys, Carson won seven matches by pin: Todd Banko, 103; Brian Halverson, 119; Kyle Banko, 125; Ahron Osheroff, 140; Loren Wooldridge, 152; Jonas Schenzel, 171; and Jason Klug, heavyweight.

Also for Carson, Travis Lamborn won by technical fall at 160, 16-0 and Riggin won 12-6 at 135.

Two of Carson's losses against North Valleys came against two of the Northern 4A's top wrestlers.

The 93-pound Owen Craugh lost at 112. "Owen's got a lot of heart," McCarthy said. Craugh had to wrestle at 112 because he lost a wrestle-off match with Banko at 103. Craugh and Banko will battle for the 103 spot for the rest of the season. At 145, Micah Whitcome lost 3-0 to North Valleys' Mitch Tolley.

Against Reno, Carson lost just one match that was contested and won four by pin: Craugh, 112; Osheroff, 140; Whitcome, 145; Lamborn, 160.

Also for Carson, Wooldridge won 8-0 at 152, Halverson won 3-2 at 119 and Klug won 11-0 at heavyweight. Todd Banko (103), Kyle Banko (125), Riggin (135), Schenzel (171) and Matt Heath (189) all won by forfeit.

"For the most part we came out real aggressive and got a lot of pins," McCarthy said.
