Brentwood 36, Longwood 16

OK, so this one wasn't quite as close as hoped.

Brentwood put on a very impressive display Friday night at Longwood High School to hand the Lions are a rare defeat, 36-16. It was the fifth straight win for the Indians against Longwood, dating back to 2004. The Indians all but locked up another League I title, while the Lions suffered their first league loss. Brentwood has one league dual meet to go against Ward Melville to secure the title.

The Indians won 12 of the 15 bouts (96 and 285 were wrestled) although none by pin. And only one by technical fall.

The only pin of the night actually came in the final match at 285 when Lou Scala pinned Caleb Piene in 1:42.

Other wins for Longwood came at 145 by Will Fechter, a senior who's emerged as the Lions' top gun. Nicky Hall, who is just a seventh grader, won his match handily at 103, 10-2, against Humbolto Garcia. Hall is going to have quite the high school career by the time he graduates in 2013.
