The Bainbridge High School varsity wrestling team bested comers from Garfield and Franklin Thursday, Dec. 6 at their first home match of the year.

Coming on the heels of a 1-1 road match the previous week, the first test of the year, it was a resounding, refreshing tone-setter for the Spartans.

First, against Garfield, the island squad claimed a 51-30 win, with all but one of the visitor’s wins coming from forfeits.

The Spartans also came out ahead against Franklin, 40-30.
