The Walker Valley Mustangs recorded pins in the first five matches and never looked back as they beat host Ooltewah in a prep wrestling match Thursday evening by a resounding 61-12 final.
The match began at 120 pounds and James Jur put his team ahead with a first-period pin. Cameron Dwyer, Ethan West, Dillon Clark and Zeth Haynie followed with pins and it never got any closer as Joehy Vecchione posted a 13-11 overtime victory at 152 and teammate Robert Varner notched a 13-4 major decision at 160 before Mikel Gregory posted Walker Valley's sixth pin.
The difference was 43-0 before Francisco Gallardo got the Owls on the board with a forfeit at 182.
Victor Bednarski had Ooltewah's only pin at 220 while Koby Hooker had Walker Valley's final fall.
Karson Huff and Chandler Davis were both awarded forfeits in the final two weight classes.
SODDY DAISY ALSO won twice on Thursday as the Trojans beat host East Hamilton by 49-24 and whipped McMinn County by a 75-6 margin.
Jacob Pratt, Tony Wilson and Hayden Maynor all had a pair of pins for the victorious Trojans while Lance Wheaton, Jacob Kilgore, Cade Ghaffari, Curtis Settles and Ty Boeck all had two wins as well.
