DANE FUELLING

Adams Central fans weren’t quite sure what kind of lineup they had when they stepped onto the mat with some opening-night jitters Friday at Jay County, but when they walked back to the bus Saturday evening, they had a 6-0 record and an ACAC Duals title.
“We have a couple kids trying to heal up from football yet and still trying to get everyone into wrestling shape,” noted coach Tony Currie after his team’s big weekend. “We are close, but not quite there yet.”
While Currie is your typical wrestling coach who is never quite satisfied with a tournament where his boys wrestle nearly 100 bouts, it is hard to describe just how well the Jets wrestled this weekend in the conference duals.
The team opened with an incredibly tough rivalry match against a South Adams teams that was in mid-season form and came away with a victory. Those two teams could meet again at Team State for sure.
From there, the Jets dominated the rest of the field and showed little sign of trouble until they got to the typical challenge-the Jay County Patriots.
In that match against Jay, the Jets won nearly every close match and catapulted themselves forward in the 1A rankings to the top spot Monday, leapfrogging Rochester.
“We did let a few matches get away,” admitted Currie, “because we were ahead in three of those matches and got pinned. That’s 27 points against South Adams.”
The coach also lamented three losses where his boys were in the lead in the third period but couldn’t hang on to wins.
“I think we are in the dual with almost everyone we see this season,” said the coach. “It will come down to bonus points and matchups.”
Now the Jets focus on two mid-week duals before another big super dual Saturday at New Haven.
“It is going to take a very good team to beat us.”
