Nick Albano, Carl Elmer, Joe Hoeve and Eric Adrian each went 3-0 in helping the Farmington wrestling team win two of its three duals at Thursday’s South St. Paul Quadrangular.
The Tigers opened with a 48-28 win over St. Paul Harding, then beat East Ridge, 28-23, before falling to South St. Paul, 42-39. The Tigers won 18 of their 19 matches by fall, but ended up dropping their final dual to South St. Paul because of four losses that came via pin.
“It was a battle of bonus points,” Farmington coach Jon Lund said.
Elmer and Adrian each won three matches with pins, while Albano and Hoeve closed out their performances with two pins apiece after scoring forfeit wins against Harding.
Braydon Chapman opened the quadrangular with a forfeit win against Harding, then picked up his second win with a pin against South St. Paul. Seth Franklin and Josh Iverson also scored a pair of pins.
Chris Jacobson and Brett Hoffman each won their lone matches of the day with pins against South St. Paul.
The Tigers compete again at their own Farmington Tiger Dual Jan. 9 at Farmington High School.
