Cobras Bite St. Andrews 33-9 in Home Opener
The Cobras won seven matches on the night including three major decisions and two wins by fall.
HARTSVILLE, S.C.- The Cobras wrestling team opened its dual meet competition with a 33-9 win over St. Andrews on Wednesday (Nov.11) at its first ever "Art Meets Art" event.
Highlighted in the win were major decisions from Charlie Huff (13-4, 125), RaSean McArthur (15-6, 141) and closed out with a gritty 17-4 major win from Austin Akins at 285 pounds.
Coker also earned two wins by fall in the victory. Derrick Nelson zipped his way to a first period pin at the 1:53 mark. Derrick Booth caught his second wave when he pinned his opponent just 17 seconds into the third period.
Huff's major decision and Nelson's pin put Coker out to a quick 10-0 lead before McArthur's win and Jordon Tague collected a win by forfeit to give the Cobras 20 unanswered team points. Temaris Dixon also gutted out a 7-4 decision.
The Cobras will hit the mats again on Nov. 22 when they travel to Bristol, Tennessee for the King Open. The tournament begins at 8:00 a.m.
