Pine View Wrestling Picks Up Road Win

ENTERPRISE — Pine View went on the road to open the wrestling season and came away with a 52-24 win.

The Panthers picked up most of their points in the middle weights as Alex Gifford, Jeff Ure and Kade Neumann won with pins while Matt Ryder, Matt Ure and Eric Lafaele won on points. PV won four matches by forfeit.

The Wolves did well at the lower weights as Shaun Holt, Steve Pickering and Truce Truman recorded pins. Enterprise's Cameron Bliss also got a pin in the 215-pound match.

Pine View coach Vance Casperson said his youthful team is still working out who will be at what weight.

"It just takes a while," he said. "Once we kind of get scattered (across the weight classes) we should be fine."

Several of the Enterprise wrestlers played in the 1A football championship game recently, and Wolves' coach Mike Randall said those grapplers are still working their way into wrestling shape.

"For being just five days out of football I felt good about it," Randall said of his team's peformance, while also noting that Pine View, "looked good too. They're really tough in the middle weights."
