BERLIN ­Stephen Decatur's var-
sity wrestling team cruised past
Easton, 68-6, last week to improve
to 4-0 and set up what should be a
dramatic rematch with rival Kent Is-
land at home next week after the
two teams wrestled to a tie last
year.After the 68-6 win over Easton
last week, Decatur's record stood at
4-0 and the Seahawks were ranked
19th among the 200 public and pri-
vate schools with wrestling pro-
grams in the state. Decatur wrestled
in a tri-meet with Cambridge-South
Dorchester and Mardela yesterday
in a match played too late to be
included in this edition, and will face
Kent County at home this evening
before the highly anticipated re-
match with Kent Island next Wed-
nesday.
Against Easton, Robert Kaminski
won by pin at 106, Michael Tropkoff
won by decision at 113, Andy Mc-
Kahan won by pin at 120 and T.J.
Scafone won by technical fall at
126. Joe Rodriguez won by techni-
cal fall at 132, Nate Rosenblatt won
by pin at 138, Nick Bennett won by
pin at 152 and Brett Kim won by
major decision at 160. Jared King
won by pine at 170, Andrew Borra-
daile won by decision at 182, Bran-
don Wooten won by forfeit at 195,
Caleb Massey won by pin at 220
and Ethan Eibl won by pin at 285.
The Seahawks will host Kent Is-
land next Wednesday in what
should be a dramatic rematch of last
year's knock down drag out match
that ended in a 33-33 tie before
Decatur was declared the winner
after officials sorted out several
steps in the tiebreaker protocols.
The Seahawks got out to a 33-12
lead and hung on as the Buccan-
eers battled back and tied the
match in the final bout.
There was some confusion at the
end about who was the winner as
officials sorted through the tiebreak-
ing procedures before finally declar-
ing Decatur the winner. Both teams
are expected to be undefeated
heading into next Wednesday's re-
match at Decatur starting at 5 p.m.
