LE GRAND — The East Marshall/GMG/Meskwaki boys wrestling team suffered a pair of North Iowa Cedar League defeats in a home triangular last Thursday night ahead of the holiday break.

The Mustangs (1-13, 1-7 NICL) fell to Union Community, 72-12, and then Hudson, 54-30, to close the evening. Union topped Hudson in between, 60-24.

Drew Wheater (190 pounds) and Johnathan Edel (215) both went 2-0 on the night to lead East Marshall, with Wheater scoring two wins by pinfall. He flattened Union’s Eric Zac in 48 seconds and Hudson’s Jaedyn Heasley in 4:52. Edel pinned Hudson’s Carler Ites in 1:26 and received a forfeit from Union.

Each of the Mustangs’ five wins against Hudson were pins. Cade Burchland (106), Cooper Lenz (120) and Xavier Slifer (126) all scored six team points with pins.
