back up by 10, but the Raiders knew they had 12 points coming in forfeits.
That put the meet’s result on the shoulders of Sigmund, a sophomore. He took care of business in just 16 seconds, pinning Justin Funmaker.
“All I saw from that dual meet was just a ton of potential,” Marcis said. “We have a lot of inexperience on the team when it comes to wrestling at a varsity level. If a few things just flip around and go our way, if we wrestle just a little bit smarter for the whole six minutes, the score would’ve had a little wider of a margin. If we had our full team –– there was nothing we could control with that –– and we wrestle great, that gap widens by quite a bit. So I was pretty happy with the results. I just see a ton of potential for the rest of the season. I’m pretty excited moving forward.”
Moving forward takes Medford to Tomahawk tonight, Thursday, for a key Great Northern Conference dual against the rival Hatchets. Medford won a tightly-contested meet there last year 33-25, though many of the faces on both sides from that dual have moved on. The Hatchets won their GNC opener 52-15 at Mosinee.
“We’re fired up,” Marcis said. “We go to Tomahawk on Thursday. I get a couple more kids back. We should be pretty full, barring any mishaps this week. I’m pretty excited. I think it’s going to be a competitive dual.”
