Busy week for GHV grapplers

by Michelle Watson

It was an exhausting week for the Garner-Hayfield-Ventura wrestling team, after hosting a Triangular on Tuesday, traveling to North-Butler on Thursday and competing in a tournament on Saturday.

The Cardinals went 1-2 at the home triangular on Tuesday. GHV dominated Rockford, 60-12, but fell to Central Springs, 51-23, and to Iowa Falls-Alden, 54-21.  Forfeits affected the Cardinals in the matches they lost.

  North Butler-Clarksville rolled over the Cardinals on Thursday, Dec. 13.  Jared Shaw and Adam Heflin added the only excitement at the end of the meet, picking up two pins.  Shaw stuck his opponent at 152 pounds in 2:52.  Heflin recorded his pin in 1:25 at 160 pounds, for the final 54-18.

GHV competed in the 11th Annual Jones Brothers Tournament held on Saturday, Dec. 15, in Iowa Falls.  Shaw was the only wrestler to make it to the championship round.  He fell to Benjamin Smith, of Iowa Valley, by a 5-2 decision to claim runner-up honors.

Tyler Nielsen, who wrestles at 285 pounds, placed third in the tournament.
