Youngsville beats Oswayo Valley at Redbank Valley

NEW BETHLEHEM — Youngsville wrestled hard and ended the weekend with a 1-4 record at the Redbank Valley Duals at Redbank Valley High School on Saturday.

The afternoon included the Eagles’ first dual win of the season as Youngsville topped Oswayo Valley 42-17. Michael Carnahan (139 pounds), Kenneth Shellhouse (152), Michael Raffanello (172) and Carsyn Branstrom (189) all posted pinfall wins for the Eagles. The win was the first in the varsity career of Raffanello.

Sarah Blauser (121), Tristan Ives (127) and Connor Minnis (215) all picked up forfeit wins against the Green Wave.

The remainder of Saturday’s schedule wasn’t as kind to Youngsville with the Eagles falling against Redbank Valley 72-4, Punxsutawney 53-18, Curwensville 64-6 and Marion Center 64-12.

Against Redbank Valley, Shellhouse earned his second win of the day with an 11-2 major decision over the Bulldogs’ Grant Shoemaker. In the match against Curwensville, Youngsville freshman Aiden Eger picked up a victory with a first-period pin.

Eger’s second win of the day also came via pin against Punxsutawney. Graeme Minnis also logged a pin in that matchup and Branstrom was a forfeit winner. In the final bout of the day, Graeme Minnis and Blauser picked up forfeit victories.

“The kids wrestled hard all day long,” said Youngsville coach David Myers. “The match scores aren’t indicative of how close the matches actually were. Our young and inexperienced lineup fought as hard as we’ve seen them fight all season. Many of the individual matches were one- or two-point differences until a small mistake was capitalized on. There’s a lot of promise in this group and we’re pretty proud of their efforts and work ethic.”

Youngsville’s junior high and junior varsity wrestlers will be back on the mat Friday for the Paul Clough Memorial Tournament at Youngsville High School. Varsity returns to action Jan. 3-4 at the Tool City Tournament in Meadville.
