Mat Cougars Earn Wins at Home

Several of Piedmont Academy’s wrestlers earned wins during recent home matches against Gatewood and Windsor.

Ben Davis and Payden Cantera were both 2-0 while Ian Boyd, Nolan Cleary and Logan Connor all earned one win.

In a match held at Windsor Academy in Macon last Thursday, the Mat Cougars were led by Davis, who once again went 2-0, Cleary (2-0) and Tanner Coppock (1-0).

“We did not wrestle our best at Windsor,” coach Alvin Hawkes said. “However, it was still good for our wrestlers to get some mat time in preparation for the region tournament.”

Piedmont’s Middle School wrestlers will compete Saturday in Dublin while the varsity wrestlers are now preparing for the February 5 region tournament at Westfield in Perry.
