Butler wrestlers win duals at Southmoreland
Cooper Baxter put together an efficient performance Saturday as Butler's wrestling team won the Southmoreland Duals.
The Golden Tornado's 189-pound junior pinned all five of his opponents while earning the event's Most Outstanding Wrestler Award. Levi Donnel at 132 pounds and Nick Schaukowitsch at 126 also won all five of their matches for the Tornado.
Butler (8-2) won all five of its dual meets, defeating North Star 41-26, Elizabeth-Forward 43-18, Beth-Center 44-24, Derry 53-16 and Greensburg Salem 51-18.
Ana Malovich, at 106 pounds, went 4-1 and picked up her first two varsity wins as an active wrestler. She has a few wins by forfeit this season.
Domenic Vivirito, Steven Green and Nate McMaster also went 4-1 for the Tornado.
“Five matches in a day is pretty taxing,” Butler coach Scott Stoner said. “I was pleased with how well we wrestled against Greensburg Salem in the finals. Their kids are always tough.
“Levi Donnel was a force ... he was a motor for us. Cooper had an outstanding day, but Levi was right there, too. This was the best overall wrestling we've done as a team so far this season.”
Butler hosts New Castle at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Intermediate High School gym.
