Butler's Jack Codispot tries to get a takedown against Knoch's Brendan Hinchberger during their 160-pound match Wednesday night. Codispot wound up winning by pin.

JEFFERSON TWP — Neither coach was particularly concerned with the scoreboard.

Their focus was more on what was transpiring on the wrestling mat.

Both Butler coach Scott Stoner and Knoch coach Grayson Hixon wanted to see their wrestlers implement what was taught to them leading up to the match.

And, for the most part, both coaches were satisfied after Butler downed Knoch, 63-13, Wednesday night.

“In lieu of the score, that aside, I feel really good about how we wrestled tonight,” Hixon said. “It was much better compared to the last couple of weeks or so. A lot of the things we were working on in the room, I saw tonight.”

For Butler, in a match it won by 50 points and had six pins, things weren't as clear cut.

Stoner was pleased with some of what he saw on the mat, but was also left with the impression that the Golden Tornado could have been better in some bouts.
