LIBBY — While Libby and Polson combined for six pins on the wrestling mat, the Greenchain earned four of the six to take down the Pirates, 43-30, in a home Northwest A dual meet on Tuesday night.

The matchup of conference foes featured two ranked wrestlers squaring off in the 182-pound weight class — Libby’s defending state champion Garret Chapel and Polson’s Tele Seemann, who finished sixth at 182 in 2014. Chapel, ranked No. 2 in Class A at 170 didn’t hold back. He earned an 11-1 major decision over Seemann who came into the match ranked No. 4 at 170.

Dylan Roby (132), Dylan Parrish (145), Zach Crace (152) and Alex Yeadon (160) won by fall for Libby, and Laine Young brought home a decision for the Greenchain in the closest match of the night, a 3-2 decision over Thunder Morales.

Polson received pins from Skylar Knuston (138) and Mateo Quinones (103), who came into the meet ranked No. 5 and 6 in their respective classes.

Polson will look to rebound when they travel to Columbia Falls on Friday for a 4 p.m. dual with the Mat Cats. Libby will challenge Columbia Falls at 7 p.m. after the Polson dual.
