The numbers told Carter Prenger what he had to do. Helias entered the final match in Wednesday night’s dual against Jefferson City trailing the Jays 31-27. A regular win at 120 pounds couldn’t win the dual, a major decision would only tie it. It was win by fall or by technical fall.
The Jefferson City Jays and Lady Jays celebrated Senior Night the best way they knew how. The Jays and Lady Jays both finished 2-0 in duals against Battle and Eldon on Wednesday night at Fleming Fieldhouse.
It took a trip through the alphabet to decide a winner. Eli Teiberis of Jefferson City defeated Justin Weiberg of Helias by decision in their 126-pound match to wrap up the third-place dual Saturday afternoon in the Missouri Duals at Rackers Fieldhouse. That made the score Jefferson City 34, Helias 34. There are no ties in wrestling.
If you blinked, you probably missed it. Clayton Hurley of Jefferson City lined up and shook hands prior to his 170-pound match Friday night against Braeden Trower of Eureka in the second round of the Missouri Duals at the Helias Gym. Eight seconds later, the match was over as Hurley won by fall.
