SCHOOLCRAFT — Brandywine’s wrestling season came to an end in the Division 4 Team Regional semifinals at the hands of White Pigeon 48-21 Wednesday night.

The Bobcats forfeited six weight classes, which ended up being their demise as teams with full line-ups have the better odds of moving forward. There were only a total of four contested matches in the semifinals.

Decatur defeated White Pigeon to win the regional championship and advance to the Division 4 quarterfinals at Wings Stadium in Kalamazoo Feb. 25.

Brandywine, which does not graduate a senior off its team, while compete in the Division 4 Individual Regional at Lawton Saturday.
