WILLARD — The Bellevue Redmen recorded two wins in dual matches Tuesday, their first in head-to-head competition this season, topping Port Clinton and Mohawk in a quad match at Willard High School. Shelby and Willard also competed in the match.
Bellevue handled the Port Clinton Redskins, 47–18, for one of its two wins.
Port Clinton left seven of the 14 weight classes empty in its dual against Bellevue, which matched Port Clinton to combine for three double forfeits.
Chris Harris, Brandon Veliz and Grant Moyer recorded pins Tuesday for the Redmen against Port Clinton.
Bellevue’s Zack Miller notched a technical fall on the Redskins’ Aaron Smith.
Port Clinton’s Robbie Peterson tallied a pin against Ryan Veliz.
The Redmen won by seven against the Mohawk Warriors, 35–28.
That match saw three more double forfeits, while Bellevue outgained Mohawk 12–6 in three other weight classes that were forfeited.
Veliz, Miller and Alex Elswick each earned pins against Mohawk. Moyer registered a technical fall against Arin Mullins.
Bellevue’s Jared Hoy and Ethan Hartley were eached pinned in their two matches Tuesday.
“I thought we looked more aggressive than some of the earlier duals this year,” Bellevue coach Paul Zolman said. “We had solid efforts from Zack Miller and Grant Moyer, both going 2–0 on the night.
“I’m hoping that we are turning a corner as a team heading into tournament time.”
Bellevue sits just over two weeks away from the Northern Ohio League tournament, which the Redmen will host on Saturday, Feb. 2.
In the meantime, Bellevue will compete at the Wooster Invitational on Saturday.
