BR-H grapplers sweep
HARRIS — Senior Tyler Racicot achieved a major milestone while helping the Bark River-Harris wrestlers post three victories here Monday high.
Racicot reached the century mark by pinning Manistique’s Tylor Greene 62 seconds into a 160-pound match.
“It’s just so amazing,” he said. “That has always been one of my goals, especially with having fewer matches to get there this year. There wasn’t as much margin for error. There was always the question, ‘what if somebody tests positive (for Covid-19) or what if I test positive.’ Every match counted, which makes it all the more satisfying to do this as a senior. Our team is doing real well this year.”
The Broncos defeated Gwinn (66-3), Kingsford (54-12) and Manistique (71-11) to improve to 19-2 this season.
“We had a very good all-around performance,” said BR-H coach Joe Racicot. “We knew there would be some quality matches here tonight. It’s unfortunate Gwinn had only two wrestlers tonight, although their 215-pounder (Connor Dalton) is a quality wrestler. It was nice for Tyler to get his 100th win in front of the home crowd. This is pretty special for me as a coach and dad.
“Noah Gagne has really come a long way this year. He’s just a natural athlete. It’s fun to coach him.”
Gagne (152) pinned Manistique’s Josiah Gilroy at 3:59 and Gwinn’s Konner Roberts in 18 seconds.
Manistique opened with a 36-24 triumph over Kingsford and blanked Gwinn 57-0. Kingsford finished with a 36-12 victory over Gwinn.
“We’re improving,” said Manistique coach Mat Gonzalez. “We’re a young team. Eight of 13 are underclassmen. The kids worry too much about wins and losses. This is really about taking small steps. Right now, we’re just striving for little victories.”
Kingsford’s Elliot Johnson (215) collected three pins. BR-H’s Wyatt Raab (189), Manistique’s Jacob Berry (145) and Dalton had two pins apiece, and the Broncos’ Drew Allgeyer recorded a pin and technical fall.
The Broncos, Emeralds and Gladstone visit Negaunee for a quadrangular meet tonight at 6.
