Emery drops close match to Carbon

Last Tuesday night the Carbon Dino wrestling team traveled to Castle Dale to face the host Emery High team in a dual wrestling meet.  At the conclusion of the match the Dinos left town with a 42-36 victory. Every match that was wrestled was won by way of a pin with Emery wrestlers winning six matches this way and the Dinos winning four matches this way.  The difference in the match was three forfeited matches given by the host team that allowed the Dinos to score another 18 points.
The night started with the 285 pound division and Emery’s AC Reeve defeated Zack Skaggs by way of pin with 58.5 seconds left in the second round.  Emery’s Dwain Farley then defeated Rylan Ferguson with another second round pin in the 106 pound division.  Korby Christiansen of Emery then gave the Spartans their third win of the night as he pinned Astacia Gomez in the first round in the 113 pound weight division.
