LEWISTOWN – Mifflin County put on a dominant display of wrestling at its own Husky Duals on Saturday.

The Huskies breezed through the competition, including a 49-15 victory over New Oxford in the finals for their second straight championship after a five-year hiatus of the Duals.

Mifflin Count went 30-12 in bouts with 22 wins of the bonus variety. The Huskies (8-0) beat Carlisle 44-21 in the quarterfinals, Philipsburg-Osceola 60-15 in the semifinals and the Colonials in the finals – outscoring their opponents 153-51.

The Huskies improved to 3-0 in the Mid-Penn Commonwealth with the victory over the Thundering Herd.

Nic Allison (106), Kyler Everly (132/138), Trey Kibe (170), Brycen Hassinger (182), Jacob Krepps (195), Haydn Crum (220) and Blaine Davis (285) went 3-0 on the day. Derek Burk (120), Lucas Sheetz (126), Ethan Kauffman (138/145) and Anson Wagner (152) finished 2-1. Trey Shoemaker (160) was 1-2, while Hunter Johnson (113) and Jacob Cunningham (145) were 0-2.

In the finals, the Huskies broke open a 9-9 tie with New Oxford, reeling off eight straight victories to blow the meet open at 49-9.

Wagner started the win streak with a fall in 56 seconds over Lane Nitchman at 152. Shoemaker followed with a pin over Hunter Shaffer in 3:23. At 170, Kibe built up a 7-0 lead before flattening Dominick Grieco in 2:46 to make it 27-9. The Husky junior ranked No. 1 in the state, won all his matches by fall.

Mifflin County kept the momentum going when Hassinger downed Dylan Forbes 12-9 in a battle of state-ranked wrestlers at 182. The Husky junior had two takedowns in the first, a reversal and two nearfall points in the second to build a 10-5 lead before fighting off a late charge by Forbes for the victory.

At 195, Krepps majored Isaac Byers 15-3 with two takedowns, a reversal and eight back points. Crum broke a 3-3 tie with an escape in the third to beat Dylan Smith.

Mifflin County closed out the win streak with back-to-back falls by Davis and Allison.

Davis took out Josh Getz in 30 seconds of their heavyweight bout. Not to be out done, Allison decked Trent Uhler in 10 seconds at 106.

The Huskies got a huge win early in the match when Sheetz, down 4-1, reversed Jacob Pope to his back in the second and recorded the fall in 2:34.

Big wins were the rule of thumb on the day – the main one being Kauffman and his 4-2 victory over state qualifier Chase Chapman of P-O.

The only bad news for the Huskies was Johnson re-injuring his shoulder after getting back into the lineup recently.

Mifflin County hosts Cumberland Valley on Tuesday.

Philipsburg-Osceola

The Mounties went 2-1 on the day to finish third at the Husky Duals.

Philipsburg (8-5) defeated Trinity 50-24 in the quarterfinals before dropping a 60-15 decision to Mifflin County in the semifinals. In the match for third, the Mounties took care of Conestoga Valley 48-30.

Nick Coudriet (113) and Hunter Weitoish (160/170) went 3-0 on the day, while Austin Foster (145) and Tyler Anderson (285) finished 2-0.

Scott Frantz (126), Gabriel Dunkelberger (132) Chase Chapman (138) and Parker Moore (195) had 2-1 records. Luke Hughes (145/152) and Alex Dunkelberger (170) were 1-2, Nick Bryan (113) was 1-0 and Dom Shaw (152) had a 0-1 mark.

The Mounties took third despite forfeiting four weight classes – 106, 126, 182 and 220. P-O won nine of the 10 contested bouts with the Buckskins picking up bonus points in eight of those.

Recording falls were Coudriet, Frantz, Foster, Alex Dunkelberger, Moore and Anderson. Weitoish had a technical fall and Chapman won by a 16-4 major. Gabriel Dunkelberger won by decision.

Philipsburg-Osceola travels to Central on Thursday.
