PULL MY FINGER—St. Helens’ Zack Nutting gets a tug on his finger by Glencoe’s Layne McNeely during last Thursday’s 215-pound weight class. Glencoe won the NWOC match.

he St. Helens Lions probably couldn’t have beaten Glencoe in Thursday’s Northwest Oregon Conference dual match, but it might have been much closer if things had gone a little more St. Helens way.

The Lions won only three matches and ended up on the short end of a 53-12 final score.

Weston Tanner got the only pin for the Lions, dominating his Glencoe opponent at 140 pounds. Doug Girard followed for St. Helens with a 7-0 decision at 145 pounds.

“We did not match up well and a couple of our guys didn’t wrestle their best,” St. Helens Coach Mike McCoy said. “Glencoe is a very good team and they were favored to win.”

“We worked hard and we went into the match with a good attitude,” McCoy added. “In a couple of early matches when things were not going our way the wrestlers didn’t handle it very well. Weston and Doug were solid. Aaron V (Vongsaravanhlao) defaulted because he had a severe cramp in his calf. Jedi lost to a very good wrestler.”
