A sign in the Career Center Gym at Warsaw reads, "The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing."
But Warsaw's 40-25 wrestling win over Plymouth Thursday was more like a waltz as both teams took its turns leading.
Warsaw staked itself to a 23-0 lead after dominating the lower weight classes and held on as Plymouth had the upper hand in the upper weight classes.
Scott Snyder (103), Tim Roe (119), Robbie Boley (125) posted impressive wins and Adam Harter got a forfeit as the Tigers ran out to the early lead.
Joe Binfet's win at 130 ended the streak and Andy DeWitt's win at 135 got Plymouth to 23-10.
Aaron Banks (140) and Matt Zellers (145) got Warsaw back on the winning side and pushed the margin to 31-10. Plymouth came up with two wins at 152 and 160 to trim the lead to 31-16 before Marvin Farmer (171) and Steve Fribley (189) clinched things for the Tigers with big wins.
"It was a good match," Warsaw coach Tony Boley said. "It wasn't over until right there at the end. They are really strong in the upper weight classes. There were some close matches that we lost and some close ones that we won. We had a couple of big wins at the end from Marvin Farmer and Steve Fribley. Those two kind of sealed it up. Those kids stepped it up."
With the win, the Tigers moved to 2-1 in the Northern Lakes Conference with NorthWood and Goshen coming up. Warsaw's lone NLC loss this season has been to defending conference champ Wawasee.
"It should be exciting in the conference," Boley said. "Wawasee and Goshen are the ones to beat. All we can do is take care of ourselves and hope someone knocks Wawasee off. Hopefully, we can knock off NorthWood and Goshen, but you never know with kids."
Boley knows that the only way his Tigers can improve as a team is if they make individual improvement up and down the roster.
es and what he has to improve on, and each kid can improve on those, we are a better team," Boley said. "We are in very good shape. We are one of the best conditioned teams around."
