The Trojans strung together five straight victories in the middle of their match and beat Falconer/Cassadaga Valley 38-33 in Chautauqua-Cattaraugus Athletic Association Division 1 wrestling action at Southwestern Central School.

It had been 14 years since Southwestern beat Falconer. The last time it happened, 42-25 in 2010, names like Brett Swan, Chris VanSickle, Evan Watson, Cody Fuller, Riley Sheldon, Dan Petruccello, John Mistretta and Pat Langworthy were winners for the Trojans. Mark Hetrick was the head coach that night and Johnny Vogan, now Southwestern’s head coach, was an assistant.
