Austin Borah takes third in Groton


By Jay Davis

Austin Borah grappled to third place at 160 pounds at the Groton Lions Tournament on Saturday.
“Austin lost a squeaker in the semis,” said coach Spencer Novotny. “As far as I’m concerned that was the championship match.”
Borah came out smoking with first-period pins over Seth Strong of Ellendale-Edgeley-Kulm and Malvin Keoke of Tiospa Zina. He lost a 4-1 match to Baily Schoenfelder of Huron JV in the semifinals where the Huron wrestler’s third-period reversal was the deciding points. Borah used a pair of takedowns to beat Grayson McCranie of Groton Area 6-3 in the wrestlebacks and built up a 10-0 lead before sticking Rob Wiley of Webster Area at 1:57 in the third-place match. Schoenfelder won the title with a 1:27 pin in the championship.
The rest of the team struggled, but fought hard in losing efforts.
“The kids had a good tournament,” said Novotny. “They worked hard.”
Keagan Pearman had the team’s only other win. The seventh-grader earned his first varsity win by pinning Tanner Peck of Warner-Northwestern at 1:29.
