<B>Butler 74, McKeesport 0; Butler 46, Gateway 21 — </B>The Tornado concluded their dual meet season with a pair of victories Friday at Gateway.Cole Baxter earned two victories to improve to 36-1 and give him 150 for his varsity career.Butler (26-5) had been scheduled to face Latrobe, but the teams competed against each other less than two weeks ago. Latrobe had made a run in the WPIAL Class AAA team tournament and both teams felt it was too soon to wrestle each other again.“This time of year we're trying to accomplish things and you're wrestling the same guys every day,” said Tornado coach Scott Stoner. “We found out about these two teams and headed down there.”The Tornado had nine starters out of the lineup due to weight designations, so several junior varsity wrestlers took part in the matches.“Some guys had a great opportunity to start and we got some JV guys in there. They got to be a part of the team. Gateway has some nice wrestlers,” Stoner said.Butler will appear in the WPIAL sectional competition Feb. 26 at Fox Chapel. The top five placewinners there advance to the WPIAL Championships the following week.<B>Butler 74, McKeesport 0103</B> <B>pounds:</B> Cody Houston (B) won by forfeit; <B>112: </B>No match; <B>119: </B>Nick Sutton (B) pinned Zach Argyle, 2:43; <B>125: </B>Xavier Bennett (B) pinned Keith Bervach, 5:15; <B>130: </B>Nathan Boy (B) pinned Ray Berta, 3:12; <B>135: </B>Lee DiMichele (B) pinned Colin Paige, 4:57; <B>140: </B>Brandon Bauer (B) pinned Antonio Graziano, 3:15; <B>145: </B>Zach Schultz (B) pinned Izure Massey, 3:15; <B>152: </B>Dakota Collins (B) pinned Zach Sellers, :49; <B>160: </B>Matt Pribis (B) dec.
