| Short-handed Storm Drops Three Duals |
|
Burg (19-3), Ethan Keiser (12-2), Paul Suhey (14-4), A.J. Firestone (12-2), and John Sanfolippo (14-8) led Mercersburg's effort, which was hindered by four forfeits in each dual meet.
"Our upper weights continue to carry our younger guys in the lighter weights but we still came up short. Anytime you have to give up 24-30 points right off the start it is going to be very hard to be successful in a dual meet format. We are definitely a tournament team," commented coach Nate Jacklin. Mercersburg fell to nationally #4 ranked Wyoming Seminary in the first round of the event, 68-6. The forfeits really hit the Storm in the next two duals, as Archbishop Curley and Gilman were able to capitalize on their 24 point advantage, defeating Mercersburg 51-26 and 47-19, respectively. |
