TOWANDA — On a night full of falls, Towanda registered the majority of them and, aided by three forfeits, recorded a 58-24 win over Waverly here Wednesday night in non-league wrestling action.

The Black Knights notched four pins, compared to four for the Wolverines, and also received three forfeits from the visitors.

Skyler Allen and Joe Vanderpool opened the night with pins for the Black Knights at 138 and 145, respectively, to give them a 12-0 lead.

In the only bout to go a full six minutes, Towanda’s Evan Johnson forged a 12-4 major decision over junior Austin Kimble to up the advantage to 16-0.

Waverly standout senior Ethan Stotler put the Wolverines on the scoreboard with a pin of Will Bowen in 1:00 at 160 pounds to trim the deficit to 16-6.

After a pin by Towanda’s Spencer Jennings at 170 pounds, Waverly junior Trevor Meyers pinned Jasiek Zalewski in 2:29 in the 182-pound bout to make it 22-12.

Consecutive Waverly forfeits at 195 and 220, a pin by Towanda heavyweight Alex Perez, and another Waverly forfeit at 106 gave the Black Knights an insurmountable 46-12 lead.

Tyler Hawley and MyKee Nowell added falls for the Knights at 113 and 120 to stretch the lead to 58-12.

Senior Rylan Laforest snapped Towanda’s win streak with a 30-second fall over Garrett Chapman at 126 pounds, and sophomore Garrett Skeens closed out the match with a pin of Wyatt Delamater in 2:28 at 132 pounds.
