Ponte Vedra grapplers defeat Nease in Battle of the Bridge

Posted

Ponte Vedra recently topped Nease in wrestling in the annual renewal of the Battle of the Bridge.  

The Sharks came away with the victory by a final score of 54-30. In a match with many forfeited weight classes, Ponte Vedra's high moments featured pins by Ethan Baur at 145 pounds and Troy Maritato at 182 pounds. Both lineups were hampered by injuries with many wrestlers trying to heal for the postseason. 

The evening's wrestling was preceded by Ponte Vedra's senior night ceremony, which recognized outgoing seniors, Simon Mann, Preston Turner and Troy Maritato.

Both Nease and Ponte Vedra competed at the District Wrestling Tournament at Matanzas High School on Wednesday, before this edition of the Recorder went to the printer.
