Garnet Valley handles Upper Darby for Central control

The Garnet Valley wrestling team strengthened its grip on the Central League Wednesday night with a 55-15 victory over Upper Darby.

In a battle of the last two conference champions, the Jaguars (10-2, 4-0) dominated a meet that saw the Royals get three quick points out of the chute. Keito Shaw got a 10-5 decision in the opening bout at 113 pounds.

It was all Garnet Valley the rest of the way.

A string of four consecutive victories by C.J. Wood (120), Griffin Hollingsworth (126), Kevin Puliti (132) and Gavin Hollingsworth (138) set the tone for the Jags. Puliti and Gavin Hollingsworth were victorious by technical fall, the previous two by pin.
