Romeo Bows out at Team Regionals

Wednesday, March 24, 2021

The Bulldog Wrestling Team traveled to Clarkston High School to take part in the Team Regional Tournament on Wednesday.  In round one it was  #7 Romeo vs. #10 Clarkston and Utica Ford vs. Stoney Creek.  Here are the results:

Clarkston  36  Romeo 28
Stoney Creek  46  Utica Ford 31

Clarkston beat Stoney Creek 39 to 33 to win the Regional Championship.

The Bulldogs started strong against Clarkston.  Romeo got off to a 12-6 lead after four matches.  Romeo built on their lead over the next 5 matches to take a 28-18 lead going into the last 5 matches.  Clarkston had five senior wrestlers who are no strangers to the wrestling mat waiting at the top of their line-up.  The Bulldogs wrestled hard and went nip and tuck, but lost 4 straight decisions before Clarkston closed the deal with a first period pin.  

It was the kind of dual meet you would expect from two top teams.  All in all the Bulldogs wrestled with heart and left it all on the mat.  Romeo ends the season with an overall record of 18-3.  Here is the box score from the dual meet:
