Three Battery Creek wrestlers placed in the top five in their weight classes at the CSRA Rumble on the River this weekend in North Augusta.
The Dolphins finished 15th out of 22 teams from South Carolina and Georgia. Freshman Sam Degroat led the way with a second-place finish at 106 pounds, earning a first-round bye, a pin, and a decision before falling to Greenwood’s Carter Anderson in the finals.
Sophomore Bradley Smith also had a strong showing, going 2-2 to finish fourth at 126 pounds. Smith pinned his first two opponents before dropping his next two matches.
Senior Johan Linares rounded out the Dolphins’ placers with a fifth-place finish at 132. After splitting his first two matches, Linares won three straight in the consolation bracket to finish 4-1 on the weekend and place fifth.
Derek Ray (120) went 2-2, and Larson McManigle (145) and Riley Doray (113) each picked up one victory for the Dolphins.
