Jay cruises past Knights

OSSIAN — Jacob Robinson didn’t get a lot of opportunities as a freshman.

A growth spurt has helped him secure a spot in the lineup and he has made the most of it.

Robinson was one of nine Patriots from the Class 2A No. 3 Jay County High School boys wrestling team to win their matches as it overpowered the Norwell Knights 52-23 Tuesday.

Robinson moves to 11-3 on the season as he beat Luke Dreiband in the 150-pound match in a 4-1 decision.

Alan Ortiz also took the 285 contest in a decision, beating Carson Powell 3-1.

Cole Carpenter won by sudden victory over Nolan Weedman 8-6 to take the 157 weight class.

The other six wins came via pins. Points came from Grant Linville (106), Cody Rowles (132), Tony Wood (138), Jason Landers (144), Juaquin Flores (190) and Bryce Wenk (215).

The Patriots (13-2) also took the 113 weight class as Griffin Byrum did not have an opponent.

Gabe Ardizzone, Gavin Hambrock, A.J. Heskett, Hayden Ison and Joaquin Johnson all won junior varsity matches as well.

MUNCIE — The Jay County swim team struggled as Delta cruised to a 155-49 win for the girls and a 136-61 win for the boys.
