Tigers go undefeated in Chick-fil-A Duals

CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky.- The #11 Tigers took part in the Campbellsville University Chick-Fil-A duals over the weekend. The Tigers went unbeaten as a team in the competition.
 
To begin Friday, the wrestling building was officially announced as the Hord Family Wrestling Facility. The first day of the duals the Tigers had nearly every wrestler posted wins. Noteworthy victories included heavyweight athletes with the quickest matches: Gabe Craig's 37 second pin against Brewton-Parker and Jaden Sonner's 1:23 pinfall over Pikeville.
 
The second day saw (RV) Lourdes, (RV) Brewton-Parker, (RV) Rochester, and (RV) Williams Baptist participate and the Tigers soundly put them all away. None of the opponent's team results for the duals were within single digit scoring of what Campbellsville recorded.
 
Noteworthy performances in the duals are below:
 
125: Izaeah Beavers had a good weekend going 2-0 on a medical decision and a decision of 15-11 to Lourdes University. Dawson Show had a two-minute pinfall win over Williams Baptist.
 
133: Cameron Henderson went 2-1 on the weekend with a pinfall victory against Kayshaun Taylor of Brewton-Parker College. Troy Kennedy was 2-0 with a 4-0 decision against Brewton-Parker.
 
149: Nick Moore went 3-0 in the matches he was able to finish. He had to leave due to injury against Brewton-Parker.
 
157: #22 Jake Hurst was the highlight of the 157-weight class going 2-1 with a key victory against Brewton-Parker with a pinfall in 21 seconds. Braulio Cavazos won his only contest in a 17-1 technical fall over Williams Baptist.
 
165: #4 Gavin Smith went 3-0 with two technical falls and quick pin against Williams Baptist's Jake Wilcos which ended the match at 1:17.
 
174: #25 Brice Parks did some damage too going undefeated with a big win in a pinfall against #14 Noah Clary of Lourdes.
 
184: #10 Curtis Thomas went 2-2 with both of his wins coming in pins.
 
197: #19 Greyson Stevens (2-0) and Levid Rodriguez (2-0) both secured pins in their bouts, with Rodriguez besting #24 Carter Kroll of Lourdes.
 
285: The big man #10 Gabe Craig was 2-0. He was able to make quick work against Williams Baptist and Brewton-Parker taking his opponent down for the pin in 57 seconds and 1:01, respectively. Jaden Sonner took two wins as well.
 
The Tigers will travel next to the Lindsey Wilson Duals in Columbia, Kentucky on the 11th of December for more conference duals.
