Giving it his all

ST. JOSEPH - St. Joseph-Ogden's Davin Alvarez gives his all to try and roll Clifton Central's Giona Panozzo on his back in the second period of the 150-pound match on Tuesday at St. Joseph-Odgen High School. Alvarez battled valiantly in an exciting match but lost via pin halfway through the third period. The Spartans went on to win the dual meet, 40-35. Alvarez was back on the mat almost an hour later in another fiece battle with Oakwood's Grant Brewer. Brewer's experience proved too much for the Spartan junior, who lost by technical fall, 16-1. More Spartan wrestling photos and news are coming soon.
