The Claymont wrestling team is on a roll.
The Mustangs picked up a pair of wins against area teams in the past week.
On Friday, Claymont knocked off visiting Indian Valley 53-22 and then traveled to New Philadelphia on Wednesday, coming home with a 62-18 win over the Quakers.
The victories move the Mustangs to 16-2 with just over a month left in the regular season. Claymont dominated both contests.
Against Indian Valley, the Braves won the first match of the night, but Claymont built a 53-13 lead en route to the win.
In Wednesday’s match, the Mustangs rolled from the start.
Mustang coach Kyle Warner is pleased with the progress of his young group.
“We’ve got a super, super young team,” he said after the Indian Valley match. “We’ve got 14 freshmen in the room this year. We’ve got a lot of potential in that class and I’m seeing it all the way across the board from top to bottom. They get in there and get after it every day.”
He was also pleased with the win over the Braves.
“They’ve gotten the best of us the last four or five years and we returned the favor today. It was great to see that energy and the fan base.”
The Mustangs are back in action this weekend as they will travel to Alliance for the Top Gun Tournament.
"We’ve got a lot of potential in that class and I’m seeing it all the way across the board from top to bottom."
