Tiger wrestling team takes down a pair of conference foes

Taking part in a tri-dual in Great Bend on Thursday, the No. 14-ranked Cowley College wrestling team had no problem defeating host Barton County before taking down Neosho County. The Tigers defeated the Cougars 42-15 while slipping past Neosho County 29-22.

Cowley improves its record to 10-2 in duals.

On Thursday, Cowley won seven of 10 matches against Barton and six of 10 against Neosho.

"We wrestled okay," Cowley head coach Justice Circle said. "We have some guys with injuries we sat and let some guys that haven't wrestled as much get some mat time. We will take it and move on."

Tiger wrestlers that went 2-0 at the tri dual were Jimmy Swenson (125 pounds), Cam Kiser (133 pounds), Shawn Mamba (141 pounds), and Jacen Jackson (157 pounds).

Cowley will return to Arkansas City and host Northern Oklahoma College-Tonkawa in a dual on Friday at 7 p.m. Following the dual against the Mavericks, the Tigers will host a tri-dual against Labette and Fort Hays Tech on Tuesday at 4 p.m.
