SUAMICO – The Bay Port wrestling team won an easier-than-expected Fox River Classic Conference dual against Green Bay Preble Jan. 30.

The Pirates recorded four pins in the 52-10 win at Bay Port High School.

“Based on the fact we lost to No. 10-ranked Ashwaubenon by three points [Jan.16] in a dual, I expected this match to be closer,” said Preble head coach Ben Cherney. “Bay Port is a good team, but we laid an egg tonight. We juggled the lineup, and we lost some of the toss-up matches that we could have won. I’m disappointed in the outcome – it wasn’t our night.”

With the match beginning at the 285-pound weight class, Bay Port’s Max Meeuwsen, the No. 1-ranked heavyweight in the state, pinned Logan Nowak in 1:36 to give the Pirates a 6-0 lead.

At 106, Owen Noel won a 7-2 decision over Trent Phillips to make it 9-0.

Cherney said Phillips had beaten Noel earlier in the season.

After Wyatt Wilson won via forfeit at 113 for the Pirates, the lead grew to 15-0.

An entertaining match took place at 138, where Bay Port’s Jacob Ward turned back Collin Derenne, 13-11.

The freshman Ward is ranked No. 3 in the state.

Matt Grzybowski also won another swing match at 170 for the Pirates, defeating Devin LaPlante with a 9-4 decision.

“He’s a tough guy – I’ve wrestled him before,” said Grzybowski of LaPlante. “I tried to score as many points as I could. The team is wrestling strong and ready for the postseason.”

LaPlante had also beaten Grzybowski earlier in the season.

Chandler Stordeur (152), Colton Berna (160) and Trevor Nys (182) won via pin for the Pirates.

Tristan Warzynski (120), Austin Heim (145) and Drake Anderson (195) also recorded wins for Bay Port.

Anderson is ranked No. 2 in the 195-pound weight class.

Mitchell Kopish (126), Brady Deal (132) and Tyler Hopp (220) were the only three winners on the night for the Hornets.
