Moscow 76, Timberlake 24
MOSCOW — Edgardo Cofre won a back-and-forth duel at 182 pounds as Moscow dominated nonleague opponent Timberlake of Spirit Lake in a season-opening meet, winning 14 of 19 matches.
“Tonight was pretty neat,” Moscow assistant Zac Carscallen said. “Obviously, we were super grateful to have the opportunity to wrestle. Obviously, our kids showed up and really battled hard — looked really solid. Some of the matches were super-exciting. They’d be going back and forth, back and forth and then our kids would find that opening.”
The Bears finished with 11 pins in the match, which was “not really wrestled in a traditional dual format,” according to Carscallen, but fielded athletes in an unconventional “mix-and-match” structure.
