Sidney High wrestlers sweep Ogallala duals

OGALLALA – With lopsided wins over each of its five opponents, the Sidney High School wrestling team dominated the Ogallala Duals Tournament on Saturday.

As an added bonus, senior Michael Muggli earned his 100th career victory in his first match of the day. Muggli (145 lbs.) brought down Wyatt Anderson of Gothenburg by pin at 1:36 of the first period. The Raiders went on to outpoint the Swedes 56-18.

After finishing off Gothenburg, Sidney topped its four remaining competitors in similar fashion. The other scores included wins over Wray (Wyo.) 57-22, Chase County 65-18, Gordon-Rushville 69-12 and host Ogallala 60-15.

Besides reaching the century mark in wins, Muggli (22-3) went on to win four more matches – including one by forfeit. Of his four competitive wins, Muggli pinned three opponents in the first period and won by a technical fall (17-1) over Carson Keller of Ogallala.

"It's a big accomplishment since not a lot of guys can say they've won 100," Muggli said. "After missing so many matches freshman year, it's hard to imagine back then that I could have gotten this far."

Muggli broke his collarbone playing football that year and missed a large portion of his freshman wrestling season.

Freshman Derek Robb (138) continued his impressive string of wins. He also went 5-0 on the day to remain undefeated (24-0) on the year. In his three competitive matches, Robb won two by pin and a third by a major decision.

At 106 pounds, freshman Kaden Vowers followed up his gold medal at Hemingford with five more wins. Like Muggli, Vowers won three matches by fall and another by technical fall. Vowers now has an 11-match winning streak.

"I'm not thinking too much about the wins and losses right now," Vowers said. "Today, I'm just trying to get pins for the team and help us get as many points as possible."

Dominic Beyer (285) and Zach Borges (160) also went undefeated on the day.

Beyer's path through the day was relatively easy. He won four matches by forfeit and pinned Grant Packard of Ogallala in 3:08. It took a little more work for Borges as he faced four opponents. His toughest match was a 5-4 decision over Micah Scherbarth of Gordon-Rushville.

"I'd like to place at districts and make state so I hope I'm where I need to be at this point in the season," Borges said. "I know it's going to be tough, but I'm just going to have to work really hard in practice."

Senior Kane Taylor (220) had an unusual day in which he went 4-1 with four forfeits. Unfortunately for Taylor, he had no warmup matches before having to face previous state qualifier Brody Cleveland at the end of the tournament. After five hours of being a spectator, Taylor was pinned by Cleveland in 3:36.

Among the Raiders with three wins on the day were Colton Peckham (3-1 at 113, 0-1 at 120), Devon Schilz (2-2 at 120, 1-0 at 113), Brett Jaggers (3-1 at 132), Coby Haas (3-2 at 152), Patrick Hays (3-2 at 170) and Brandon Lulf (3-2 at 195). Cade Price won two of his three matches at 182 pounds including Sidney's fastest match of day. He pinned Wray's Jordan Harrison in 26 seconds.

The Red Raiders take to the mat again on Wednesday when they host Bridgeport at Cabela's Athletic Facility at 6 p.m.
