No.3 J-Hawks slap No.4 Prairie

Thu - 18 Dec Written by Jim Ecker

Cedar Rapids Jefferson wrestling coach Dick Briggs has all the presents he needs for Christmas now.

The third-ranked J-Hawks put another ornament on their tree Thursday night with a 34-28 victory over fourth-ranked Prairie in a Mississippi Valley Conference showdown at Prairie.

Jefferson has collected victories over No. 4 Prairie, No.5 Iowa City West and No. 7 Linn-Mar this season and the campaign has barely started.

"It feels pretty good," said Briggs. "It's an early Christmas present. But this is a fun team. Hopefully we can keep it rolling throughout the season."

Briggs and Prairie Coach Blake Williams juggled their lineups Thursday, looking for an edge at different weights, and Jefferson prevailed by winning eight of the 14 bouts.

Prairie pushes No.2 Bettendorf in finals

Sat - 13 Dec Written by Jim Ecker

Cedar Rapids Prairie nearly toppled one of the giants of prep wrestling Saturday at the 5 Seasons Duals.

The Hawks built a 15-point lead against second-ranked Bettendorf before falling, 38-33, in the championship round of the day-long tournament at Kennedy High School.

Prairie owned a 33-18 lead with four matches left against Bettendorf, but the Bulldogs still had three top-ranked wrestlers in their tank - including a pair of defending state champions who are accustomed to winning big matches.

Bettendorf collected two pins, a decision and a technical fall in the last four bouts and rallied for the 38-33 victory.

Bettendorf won the Class 3A state title last February and returns three state champions with Jack Wagner, Jacob Schwarm and Fredy Stroker.
