Keeping things rolling early in the 2021 season, the Moffat County Bulldogs’ wrestling team hit the road Saturday afternoon for a triangular dual against the host Rifle Bears and Battle Mountain Huskies and swept the two schools in impressive fashion to move to 5-2 on the year.
Against the Bears, Moffat County cruised to a 54-15 win, before then downing the Huskies 52-9, capping off a strong weekend of wrestling for the Bulldogs.
Back on the mat for the first time in nearly two weeks, the Moffat County Bulldogs’ wrestling team beat the Grand Valley Cardinals and lost to the Meeker Cowboys in a triangular dual at Meeker High School Thursday night.
The Bulldogs took down the Cardinals in commanding fashion, 54-18, before then falling to the Cowboys in a tight contest, 42-33. The Bulldogs leave Meeker with a record of 3-2 on the season.
Moffat County started their afternoon off on the right foot with the commanding win over the Cardinals. Sophomore Billy Lawton put the Bulldogs in the win column early, thanks to a pinfall win over Cristian Barragon.
The long layoff is finally over.
For the first time since the state tournament last February, grapplers from Moffat County will return to the mat Tuesday night for the first and only home match of the season.
Tuesday’s battle with the Grand Valley Cardinals, starting at 5 p.m., will serve as “Senior Night” for the Bulldogs. The team will be wrestling at Moffat County High School in front of two fans per wrestler.
Last season, the team finished 16th out of 51 teams at the state tournament, a number they hope to improve upon this season.
“I am just ready to wrestle and I think all the other guys are ready to wrestle and get the season rolling here,” head coach Tyler Seislove said. “It feels like we’ve been waiting forever to finally get our chance to wrestle.”
