Chargers lose at 10-way last weekend By Matthew Haycraft The Pike Central Charger wrestling team lost at the 10 -way this last week on Fri- day, December 17 and Satur- day, December 18 at Harri- son High School in Evans- ville. Their final scores were: 42-36 against Boonville, 54-24 against Southridge, 50 -12 against Evansville North, 39 -33 against South Spencer, 66 -15 against Vincennes, 48 -36 against Evansville Memorial, 37-36 against Evansville Harrison and 54-30 against Evansville Reitz 54-30. This places the Charger wrestling team at 5 -18 for the season this far. Coach Jorden Froderman said, "We are going through some growing pains right now as a program. We have a lot of young wrestlers wrestling varsity right now due to a variety of reasons. I really feel that our fresh- men and sophomores are getting very valuable time on the mat. We just had our fourth meet of the year and I can tell that we have come a very long way from the first meet. While the results of the team score are not where we want it, we have a few bright spots and a few guys hanging around .500." "Jon Cannon current- ly has a 19 -4 record, ten of which have been first peri- od pins. Corey Goeppner al- so notched a 19 -4 record, al- so with ten first period pins. Griffin Boyd won his weight class at the Harrison 10 -way this past weekend, his over- all record on the year is 13- 2. Ryan Gladish currently has a 12-11 record and has shown very good leader- ship this year so far. Jackson Stuckey has a 12-10 record. Konner Simmons has a 7-12 record so far and has shown a lot of improvement over the course of the year. I al- so give a shout out to Kylee Baker, Justin Spinks, Aid- en McGiffin, Riley Mosby and Jayden Bolin, all have shown improvement from the first meet of the year." Lady Chargers suffer losses before Christmas break By Matthew Haycraft The Pike Central Lady Chargers' varsity lost both of their games this week. They lost to Gibson Southern on Thursday, December 16 by a score of 68 -26 and to North Knox on Satur- day, December 18 by a score of 48 -14.

By the end of the first half of the game, Gib- son Southern was 29 points ahead with a score of 43-14. The Lady Char- gers picked up their scoring a little bit in the third quarter, but were un- able to make it out of the single digits GIBSON SOUTHERN VS.
