Wrestlers fall to Craig

Amazingly, wrestling regionals are just more than a week away. And Sauk Prairie is hoping to peak at the right time. The Eagles took a step in that direction during a 42-27 loss to Janesville Craig on Jan. 14. “It was a fun night with some close matches,” Eagles coach Matt Gaffney said. “I was impressed with the grit and fight the wrestlers brought.” Sauk Prairie had a handful of impressive wins. Colton Uselman notched a pin in just 32 seconds at 132 pounds and Austin Lankey had a pin at 120 in 2:58. Carson Saladis won by technical fall, 15-0, at 145 pounds. And Alex Katers notched a 13-2 win at 152. Nolan Vils earned a hard fought, 8-7, win at heavyweight. And David Kingsley posted a 6-5 win at 113. “David Kingsley and Nolan Vils were both in hard fought battles coming out with wins,” Gaffney said. “Carson Saladis had a dominant performance against a strong wrestler who I believe was undefeated going into it.” The Eagles now host Reedsburg and Verona in a triangular Friday at 6 p.m. Sauk Prairie then heads to the Baraboo Regional Jan. 30. “Overall, the season is going well,” Gaffney said. “We are thankful to be able to compete.”   Jan. 14 JANESVILLE CRAIG 42, SAUK PRAIRIE 27 132: Colton Uselman (SP) over Koda Jimenez (JC) (Fall 0:32)  138: Hunter Klietz (JC) over Dylan Breunig (SP) (Fall 1:25)  145: Carson Saladis (SP) over Tobias Speth (JC) (TF 15-0 0:00)  152: Alex Katers (SP) over Andrew Craddick (JC) (MD 13-2)  160: Jack Ryan (JC) over Grant Sorg (SP) (Fall 1:46)  170: Grant Mullen (JC) over Aidan Nelson (SP) (Fall 2:00)  182: Joe Smith (JC) over Jace Elsing (SP) (Fall 0:39)  195: Ethan Weissbuch (JC) over (SP) (For.)  220: Braeden Hopkins (JC) over (SP) (For.)  285: Nolan Vils (SP) over Brady Schenk (JC) (Dec 8-7)  106: Double Forfeit  113: David Kingsley (SP) over Jose Chavez (JC) (Dec 6-5)  120: Austin Lankey (SP) over Andre Dozier (JC) (Fall 2:58)  126: Juan Armas (JC) over Riley Minnete (SP) (Fall 1:54) 106: Double forfeit.  At Janesville Craig.
