    Newberry handles King

    NEWBERRY -- The No. 3 Newberry Wolves saw the King Tornado close to within six points at the halfway point of Thursday night's dual but powered their way to a 30-9 win thanks to three late major decisions.

    Newberry moves to 16-1 in duals on the season and establishes a new program record with its 12th home win of the year. The Wolves next host Shorter on Thursday, Feburary 6. King falls to 4-4 and travels to Alderson Broaddus this Saturday.

    The Wolves started off the match at a 6-0 advantage thanks to Travis Laxton's (Live Oak, Fla.) win by forfeit at 125 lbs.

    Trung Duong (Lynchburg, Va.) added to his impressive freshman season with a come-from-behind 7-6 decision over D'Marcus Spencer at 133 lbs. and B.J. Young (Jackson, N.J.) took a 7-2 decision at 141 lbs. to give Newberry a 12-0 lead.

    King took two bouts with a fall at 149 lbs. and a decision at 157 lbs. to make it 12-6 at halftime.

    Blake Ridenour (Maryville, Tenn.) earned a 7-2 decision at 165 lbs. to start a big Newberry run.

    Three straight major decisions started with Joe Pittman (Forsyth, Ga.) at 174 lbs. with a 15-4 win over Jordan Reece. Jared Holliday (Burlington, N.J.) cruised to an 18-7 major at 184 lbs. and Joey Grisko (Gloucester Township, N.J.) got a late takedown to earn a 9-1 major decision at 197 lbs.

    No. 2 Matt Wade (Easton, Md.) capped off a great night in Eleazer Arena with a 3-1 decision at heavyweight.
