Newberry tied the score winning the next two weight classes by void. Max VanDoren (126) won his weight class by void, putting the Sault back in the lead.

Newberry’s Kennedy DePew (175) pinned Marc DeWildt (2:54) and Cody Russo (190) wrapped up the dual with the final six points with a void. The final score was Sault 48, and Newberry 27.
The Sault wrestled a small Pellston team next in a fairly quick dual thanks to a number of voids. Trevor Anderson (285) and Max VanDoren (126) won by void. Wyatt Peabody (132) pinned John Sonnenberg (3:00), and Will Ohman pinned Hunter Sonnenberg (0:58). Sam Kiekhaefer (144) and Brett Siesel (150) both won by void.

The next four Blue Devils wrestlers Jonah Rishmawi (165), Marc DeWildt (175), Chris Kiekhaefer (190) and Calvin Aldrich (215) won by void. The final score was Sault 60, and Pellston 6. Blue Devils Head Coach Jacinto Arreola shared “It’s tough with four kids.”
The Blue Devils (4-0) will host their annual Bridge Brawl on Friday, with a 2:00 start time. “Looking to make it 9-0 with non conference tomorrow.” Six teams from the UP will match up against six teams from the Lower Peninsula, which will make for a great afternoon of wrestling.
