TUCSON — The Buena Colt wrestling team, winning 13-of-14 matches, defeated Sahuaro 77-6 Wednesday evening to run their season record to 4-0.
“We did very well tonight and wrestled with great intensity,” Buena Coach Dan Southard said. “We had a lot of improvement from several of our wrestlers since last week’s opener.”
Starting at 119 pounds, Buena won 12 straight bouts in jumping out to a 71-0 lead before losing the 103-pound bout by a fall.
“They (Sahuaro) had nearly a full team,” Southard said. “They only gave us two forfeits, Rene Miramontes at 119 and Robert Ellis at heavyweight. “
