WESTTOWN — Top-seeded Owen J. Roberts got to work on its title
defense in the District 1-Class AAA Team Duals Thursday night with a
convincing 51-16 win over Pottstown.
All told, the Wildcats came away with a victory in eight of the 12 contested bouts, including five pins.
“It was a good first step in a journey to defend,” said Wildcats
head coach Steve DeRafelo. “Pottstown has a good, hungry young team, and
I was a little concerned the kids might overlook them. But they didn’t.
They came out and wrestled hard.”
Sixteen-seeded Pottstown earned a second-round spot against OJR by
knocking off No. 17 Interboro, 37-24, earlier in the opening round.
