Joplin wrestlers got an opportunity to showcase their talents in front of their peers during the annual all-school meet against the Cassville Wildcats on Tuesday at Kaminsky Gymnasium. Teachers were given the option of letting classes attend the event, resulting in hundreds of students cheering on both Eagle squads.
Girls
The Joplin girls (0-4) shouldered the burden of too many forfeits due to open weight classes and fell 30-42 to the Wildcats, but two Eagle girls logged pins at the dual.
In a dominant performance, sophomore Anie Spiering logged an early takedown before pinning Cassville’s Hopelyne Thompson at the 51-second mark of the first period in their 120-pound match.
Eagle junior Blayke Holmes wasted little time with a strong takedown and pin of Cassville’s Molly Pickett just 38 seconds into their 140-pound bout.
In the 100-pound match, Joplin’s Angelica Sturgis, trailing 10-5, was pinned in the second period by Cassville’s Isabella Bauman.
Aliyah Lasiter also fell victim to a first-period pin at the hands of Cassville’s Gracey Farsungchin in their 125-pound match.
