The Fruitport wrestling team had a tough outing on Wednesday, falling to Reeths-Puffer 62-12 in a home non-conference dual match.
Three Trojans posted victories in the match.
Caleb O’Neal defeated R-P’s Matt McConnell 7-0 in the 215-pound match. Nash Cooper downed Reeths-Puffer’s Nathan Reeves 13-6 at 150 pounds, and Kyle Holt pinned R-P’s Blake Miller in 1:46 at 113 pounds.
Fruitport coach Chad Johnson had high praise for O’Neal, saying “Caleb wrestled the most complete match I’ve seen him wrestle all season.”
Johnson also said the Rockets simply got the better of his team on Wednesday, and the Trojans will have to pull it together quickly with big challenges ahead.
“Reeths Puffer is a well-coached team and came and just outwrestled us tonight,” said Fruitport coach Chad Johnson. “It’s our job now to pick up the pieces and have a great couple days of practice to get our team ready for the weekend.”
Fruitport will compete on Saturday at the Sparta Invitational.
