Senior Night tonight for wrestlers

Home against Gooding

---

Wood River's sole senior Greg Lyons goes for the pin against Buhl's Vincent Orr. Lyons will be honored at Senior Night tonight.

Wood River High School has a young wrestling team, so the Wolverines will be honoring only one senior tonight, Friday during their final home dual meet of 2005, against Gooding starting at 6 p.m. in Hailey.

Greg Lyons (31-8 season) has been a leader all year for Wood River—and is the team's best wrestler. The 171-pounder (95-51 career) is fast approaching the century mark in victories for the Hailey mat team.

Lyons needed only 1:54 Tuesday to pin Buhl's Vincent Orr at 171 during a home dual meet against the Tribe on the Hailey mat. That was the quickest resolution in a quick 50-minute meet. Eight of the 14 classes were forfeited, but six matches were contested.

Wood River won four of the six contested matches but ended up on the short end of the 36-33 final score.

Murdock Miller (26-12 season, 60-17 career) won a tight 2-1 battle with Buhl's Cameron Sobotka at 135 pounds. It was scoreless after two. Miller got a takedown 4:28 into the match and rode Sobotka the rest of the way before Buhl got a late escape.

Levi Stinnett (17-10), like Miller a Hailey sophomore, pinned Zach Montgomery at 3:14 at 160 pounds.

Freshman Collin Hand (19-18) scored a two-point near-fall at the end of the second round to take a 2-1 lead over Buhl's Jake Busby, then Hand worked a third-round reversal and pinned Busby at the 5:30 mark.

Wood River starts the seven-team Great Basin Conference West tournament Wednesday, Feb. 16 in Pocatello. Five wrestlers from each weight class will earn state tickets.
