A memorable season of dual meets concluded for the Bellmont Braves on Tuesday night, with the state’s #17 team overall dominating the Carroll Chargers in a 58-18 non-conference victory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The victory for coach Tim Myers and his team gives the Braves a 27-1 mark on the season. The 27 dual meet wins is a new record for the program in the regular season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carroll won the opening bout with a fall at 132, but the Braves answered back with nine in a row, including two impressive tech falls by Sam Wolpert and Duke Myers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bellmont also pulled off two decisions in the upper weights, with Cole Mendez finishing a shot in overtime to beat Jayden Barrie 3-1 and Grady Baker showing some patience to defeat the Charger heavyweight, Bradyn Lothamer, by an 8-1 score. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the Braves dropped 106, they bounced back with two second-period falls from Ethan Curtis and Henry Faurote to end the match. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bellmont did forfeit the final weight (126) and the team faces a predicament heading into the tournament series with no eligible wrestler able to fill the spot. Both Will Franze and Keven Loshe moved up a weight from their usual spots in this dual meet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Braves will send their JV wrestlers to Friday’s JV conference meet before competing and attempting to defend their varsity conference title Saturday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
