BUTLER TWP — Two pins, two nice memories — for two different reasons.

Christian Sequete and Mike Vought both put their opponents’ shoulders to the mat Thursday night during Butler’s runaway 59-9 dual match victory over Hampton.

Sequete, a sophomore, built a 16-2 lead on Zach Boggs midway through the second period before registering the pin at 3:29 of their 170-pound match. The pin was his team-leading 17th of the season and improved his record to 30-5.

“Yeah, the 30th is a big one for me,” Sequete said. “I worked a lot harder this past offseason. I wanted to have a big year.

“I can’t say I expected 30 wins (as a sophomore), but I can’t say I’m surprised, either. I have confidence in what I can do on the mat.”

Butler coach Scott Stoner has confidence in what Sequete can do as well.

“No doubt, he’s developed into one of our thoroughbreds, one of our leaders,” Stoner said.

Golden Tornado senior 145-pounder Mike Vought entered Thursday’s match with just a 2-11 record, but scored a sudden reversal and pin of Garrett Rieger 34 seconds into the second period.

The pin was Vought’s second of the season and came in the final home match of his career.

“Michael’s been with our program for a long time and he’s shown flashes of things like this,” Stoner said. “It just never totally happened for him.

“To see him get a pin like that in his final regular season match ... Hopefully, he’ll ride that momentum into sectionals. It’s a nice memory for him, absolutely.”

Thursday’s match ended the regular season for Butler (15-8). The Tornado will next compete in the Section 3 Individual Championships Feb. 27 at Fox Chapel.

Scott Dietrich recorded a pin Thursday at 138 pounds for Butler, improving his record to 21-7 this season. He had a 9-2 lead after the first period and pinned Jacob Seymour with just two seconds left in the second period.

Hampton ended the regular season at 8-7, losing by lopsided scores to Seneca Valley and Butler on successive nights.

“We graduated 15 seniors from this program in the past two years,” Hampton coach Joe Eisel said. “We’re young, but we’ve got some good freshmen and sophomores.

“There are more young wrestlers coming through the system ... We should be back up there in another year or two.”

The Tornado received major decisions from Jack Codispot (15-10) at 120 pounds and Caleb Baxter (25-6) at 152. Justin Johnson (25-5) recorded his 25th win of the year by forfeit at 195.

The two most competitive matches of the night were at 113 and 285 pounds. Butler’s Isaiah Christy (14-12) scored a reversal with 1:17 left for a 2-1 decision at 113.

Tornado heavyweight Seth McCrea (16-7) scored a reversal and near-fall points in the final seconds of the first period, then held on for a 6-5 decision over Jesse Berzonski (16-7).

“Jesse is a sophomore, a first-year wrestler who is green,” Eisel said. “And he makes first-year mistakes. That’s what cost him tonight.”

Stoner said McCrea and Saavon Mosby (18-13) will wrestle-off to determine which will take the 220-pound slot in the section meet.

“The winner will wrestle at 220, the loser at heavyweight,” Stoner said. “But both have a chance to do well in the section.”
