CC wrestling trio moves on to Semi-State

Eight wrestlers from Corydon Central took part in the Jeffersonville Regional Tournament on Saturday, with three working their magic to move on to the Evansville Semi-State this weekend at fabled Roberts Stadium.
Bryan Eads, Chris Gill and Tyler Williams will be making the trip west this Saturday morning to represent the Panthers.
First-round action gets underway at 9 a.m. The cost is $7 for a season ticket or $5 for final session only.
Eads, who competes at 112-lbs., was defeated in the final by Floyd Central’s Brad Spine, 8-2. In the semifinal round, Eads knocked off Pike Central’s Jordan Earls, 4-0, and in the first round he was a 12-0 victor over Dustin Janes of Paoli.
Gill stuck Riley Pitstick of Jasper in the opener of the 119-lb. weight class with 1:12 left in the second period, then moved on to defeat North Knox’s Chris Wanke by a score of 13-10.
He fell in the championship, however, to Charlestown’s Ryan Kendrick, 10-2.
Williams continued his hot-streak by tripping up Mike Harrell by technical fall, 19-4, in the opening bout of 152, and then pinned Jared Steckler of Southridge with 39 ticks left in the third frame.
In the final, Williams was pinned at 4:37 by Daniel Twitty of Vincennes.
