The Chargers defeated W&L, 52-18, as Christian McMeechan, R.J. Powell, Rowan Anderson, Elliott Austin and Conner Bishop all went 2-0 in their weight classes.

“We are a very young team,” said MHS Head Coach Joel Anderson. “We still have much to work on. We have not quite got our varsity line-up figured out yet.”

The MHS Chargers are also missing all-state wrestler Cameron Byers, who has been sidelined due to injury since the start of the season.

The Chargers participated in the Lancaster Duals on Saturday, Dec. 17, which is the last meet before Christmas break for the Middlesex grapplers.
