Keegan Koons and Gavyn Martin were undone in the first two matches of Mexico’s home quadrangular on Friday. Koons couldn’t escape Palmyra’s Kaden Crane and Martin contorted, but could not gain control over Collin Arch.
And when it came to the 138 pound match, Dylan Mosley wasn’t happy.
“I wasn’t ready and it showed,” he said.
Here’s the twist: he won.
“I should have had him pinned in the first minute,” Mosley explained.
Instead, Mosley worked a few seconds into the second before claiming a win by fall over Grayson Stevens, helping the Bulldogs to a 42-36 team win over Palmyra to open the quad. Mexico would go on to knock off Brookfield and Kirksville to sweep at home.

Keegan Koons opened and closed the dual, Dylan Mosley and Terrell Williams endured lengthy struggles and Mexico edged Moberly 40-39 at home on Tuesday night.
“I like how they work hard,” said head coach Gayle Adams, who was particularly impressed with his freshmen. “I’m proud of them.”
For a time it appeared as if the Bulldogs would grab an easy team win. Ricardo Juarez had one difficult moment in the 120 match, but worked out of it and quickly turned the tables on the Spartans’ Austin James.

The Trojan Duels in Carrollton is a frenetic event – five teams pitted against each other in rotation, and it is a strong field.
Mexico emerged from the fray 3-2 as a team, dropping a tight 41-36 match to the hosts and struggling against Chillicothe but taking the upper hand over Hallsville, Penney and North Kansas City.
Things started well for the Bulldogs against the Trojans. Gavyn Martin captured the 126 match by fall at 1:40. After two wins by forfeit and losses at 145 and 152, Terrell Williams took the 160 contest by fall at 5:59 and Jokiah Sewell followed at 182, dropping Carrollton’s Noah Frank at the 5:40 mark. But it was all Carrollton from there.
