The Ballard Bombers men's wrestling team hosted RRC opponents Boone and Bondurant-Farrar on Thursday night in an exciting dual meet.  The Bombers dominated their match against Boone, securing a commanding 65-14 victory with impressive performances across the weight classes.  Ballard wrestlers picked up several wins by fall, including Tucker Vitzthum's quick pin in just 35 seconds at 165 pounds and Jayden Leland's first-period pin at 150 pounds.  Easton Enyeart also shone at 120 pounds, earning a technical fall victory in just 2:31, while Rhett Hedrick (190 pounds) and Jackson Wacha (215 pounds) contributed forfeits to the team score.

In their second dual of the evening, the Bombers faced a tough challenge from Bondurant-Farrar, falling 43-16.  Ballard's wins included a hard-fought decision by Tony Horness (132 pounds), who edged his opponent 5-2, and Jacob Harrison's dominant major decision victory at 138 pounds.  Enyeart continued his strong night with a narrow 4-2 decision at 120 pounds, and Hedrick provided the Bombers with six points after pinning his opponent in 1:32 at 190 pounds.  Despite these efforts, Bondurant-Farrar capitalized on several bonus-point victories, including multiple pins and technical falls, to secure the team win.

The Bombers now hold a 3-1 overall record and a 2-1 mark in RRC competition.

Next up, they travel to the Grinnell Tournament on Saturday, December 15, with matches set to begin at 10:00 AM.
