Valley 1-4 At Maconaquah BUNKER HILL – Tippecanoe Valley lost four dual matches and won one at the Maconaquah Duals Saturday. The Vikings fell 60-24 to Marion, 48-36 to North Miami, 45-36 to Maconaquah and 42-22 to Lapel. Valley beat Whitko 42-30. Junior Isaac Randall and freshman Joseph Irons both earned medals for going 5-0 on the day. Jon Humes was 4-1 with three pins. Devin Bandow and Chevy Teeter went 3-2, Haley Hoover, Jordan Owens and Tyler Manuszak went 2-3 and Jacob Eherenman was 1-3 on the day. “Our meet record for the day was not a reflection of the way we competed as we outwrestled every team we faced,” Viking head coach Kyler Kearby said. “We just missed going 3-2 on the day and that is with only nine wrestlers competing.” Valley returns to Three Rivers Conference competition with a meet at Manchester on Thursday.
