LIZTON -- The South Putnam High School wrestling team will be heading into the West Central Conference meet Saturday on the heels of a big win.

The Eagles won every match except for four of them. Four of them were by way of forfeit and two of them were by decision. Bo Jackson won the 140-pound class with an 18-11 decision and Jacob Parish won with a technical decision with a score of 18-2. Jon Parker won by decision in the 152-pound class with a score of 3-2.

The rest of the Eagles wins were by pin fall.

Seth Green pinned Doug Shelton in 3:55 in the 119-pound class while Brad Bunten pinned Jake Ellerin 3:42.
