won an 11-4 decision at 130, Barnett took an 11-2 decision at 140 and Snow won by forfeit.
"We did not look real sharp," Cardinal coach Jay Yenter said. "Spencer
has a very good team, but we let a couple of matches get away from us. We're just so young that we get into situations
that we don't know how to react.
"The guys wrestle hard. They just made a few mistakes. Against good kids,
one mistake can cost you the match. We learned that tonight against a veteran Spencer team."
Yenter said Barnett has been wrestling well lately. "He dropped down from
145 to 140 pounds and he looks a lot more comfortable at that weight."
Schwarz went after a good senior, Yenter said. "Tim recorded five takedowns
in the match and the only points he gave up were escapes."

The first quarter ended in a 6-6 tie, but the Falcons pulled out to an 18-10 halftime
lead. The lead widened to 30-21 at the third-quarter mark before the Falcons pulled away in the fourth quarter.
"I thought we played hard on defense," Falcon coach Gregg Jensen said.
"We missed a lot of easy shots, but when you don't shoot well, you have to keep yourself in the game on defense."
On Tuesday, the Falcons defeated Iola-Scandinavia, 78-46. Three Falcons scored
in double figures, led by Konkol with 19, Sherf with 16 and Stuczynski with 15. Nine of Sherf's points came on

understood what we were up against and knew each wrestler had to come out ready to wrestle. Despite the results,
I felt our performance was commendable. Every wrestler maintained their offense and refused to be intimidated.
They were aggressive and didn't stop."
