WORCESTER — For the second time in two weeks, the wrestling teams for Methacton and Pottstown squared off. The first time the two teams met was in the finals of the Avon Grove Devil Duals on Jan. 5, where the Warriors emerged victorious, winning by a score of 35-29. Eleven days later, with different matchups and a different venue, the results remained the same as Methacton defeated Pottstown 39-25 on Wednesday night.

Early on in the meet, which began at the 120-pound weight class, it looked like Pottstown, with some creative lineup juggling, would take the experience gained last Saturday to even the season series between the two schools and after seven bouts, the Trojans held a 15-12 lead. That would be the last lead Pottstown had on Wednesday.

The comeback for Methacton began when junior Devin Bradley scored a takedown late in the third period against Jordon Eckstrom and rode out the last 30 seconds of the match to score a 5-4 victory, which tied the team score and began a five-match winning streak for the Warriors, which included forfeits at 182 and heavyweight to Mike Baccaro and Tracey Green, respectively, and falls by Stephen Stanjnrajh and Tahar Ferradji. By the time the Methacton run ended, the Warriors were leading 39-15 and had clinched the meet.

“It wasn’t at all how we drew it up, I can tell you that,” said Methacton coach A.J. Maida. “Quite frankly, they did all the right things with their lineups and during the day today, we weren’t sure where our points were coming from. It was nice to see our kids respond and step up.”

Because the two teams had met so recently, both coaches had to consider some potential lineup changes in order to adjust for flaws that may have been exposed at Avon Grove and because the outcome of that meet was so close, both coaches knew that a few points could make all the difference.

“A.J. knew what we had and I got a little look at what he had,” said Pottstown head coach Brad Bechtel. “We got a couple different matchups than we had a week and a half ago, so that’s always good to see.”

“They put up more points on us tonight than they did two weeks ago,” said Maida. “We knew how tough these guys were before we wrestled them two weeks ago and we thought they’d be just as tough tonight and they were.”
