In junior-varsity action, the Lions took 16 grapplers and won 12 of the 23 matches.
Second-year Central coach Marcus Marenda said it was a good experience for his team to face one of the top programs from Class AAAA in the early-season test.
“We were very fortunate to have a matchup with them at this point in the season. I thought we wrestled very tough against a team that brings back a number of state qualifiers and state placers from last season,” Marenda said. “For a young squad, we are definitely showing a good learning curve. I was very impressed with Simpkins and winning his match against a returning state qualifier.”
