FAIRVIEW VILLAGE — The Methacton wrestlers had a little something to
prove on Thursday night in the District 1-AAA Team Duals … that they
were a lot better and tougher than they had shown the night before when
they had fallen behind by a big early score and pretty much rolled over
in a one-sided league defeat.
And the 10th-seeded hosts did indeed rebound strongly as they opened
with a 40-24 win over West Chester East and then battled all the way to
the last bout in a 36-25 loss to seventh-seeded Council Rock South.
Paul Russo, Devin Bradley, Jack Ryan, Joe Staley, and Tracey Green
were all double winners on the mat for the Warriors (12-6) and Mike
Baccaro won by a forfeit and a pin. The setback eliminated Methacton
from the tournament while South advances to next Friday’s quarterfinal
round at Upper Dublin.
“Actually just having a talk with a couple teachers who are coaches
in the building, it’s not about the score (Wednesday) night … it’s how
you respond to it,” said Methacton coach A.J. Maida.
