Danny Darling (113) won a 10-3 decision over Kyle Davis, and the rest of the Hawks’ points came on forfeits. The Hawks (2-4 Bay) lost three contested matches to the Bluejays (0-4 Bay).

Shawano coach Michael Homan was pleased with his wrestlers’ performance. “Our team is still down a few wrestlers that are battling some health issues, but we managed to get some key wins tonight,” Homan said. “I was proud of how the kids rallied to get a team win. It was great to see.”
