Niles wrestling
GRAND HAVEN — The Niles wrestling team may have suffered its first loss of the season Saturday at the Grand Haven Duals, but the Vikings have nothing to be ashamed of.
Niles finished second to No. 5 ranked Holly at the team tournament on Saturday after defeating host Grand Haven (39-36), Eaton Rapids (61-18), Spring Lake (60-18) and Grand Rapids Forest Hills Northern (84-6).
The Vikings (13-1) lone loss came to highly ranked Holly in the second round of the tournament 48-21.
“The kids wrestled very well against some good competition,” Niles coach Todd Hesson said. “I think we surprised Grand Haven in the first round.”
Casey Burandt opened the match with a pin and then Donte Stevens picked up a pin at 152-pounds, but the Vikings trailed 30-12 heading into the 285-pound match with Mike Gentry.
Niles rallied with pins at 285, 103, 112 and Cole Allison’s one-point victory at 125-pounds gave the Vikings a 36-33 advantage.
Colin Burandt then sealed the victory with a pin at 130-pounds.
“Colin had a big day, moving up from 130- to 135-pounds to knock off two ranked kids (Holly and Spring Lake) as well as sealing our win against Grand Haven,” Hesson said. “We beat perennial powerhouse Eaton Rapids and in our loss against No. 5 Holly we wrestled tough, they are just a very solid team from top to bottom.”
Gentry was one of four Niles wrestlers to go 5-0 on the day. All five wins for the Vikings’ heavyweight were by pin. Also going undefeated were Burandt, Tyler Baber and Stevens.
“Tyler Baber and Donte Stevens both wrestled extremely well,” Hesson said. “Donte has been working hard and has improved daily. Cole Allison, Dakota Wright and Casey Burandt wrestled well. All three of their losses came against No. 1 and No. 2 ranked kids from Holly. The kids work hard and continue to improve. Hopefully this will carry over into next week’s tournament at Dansville.”
Before the Vikings head to the Lansing area for another tournament, they will host a quad meet on Wednesday.
