ONE FEATHER STAFF REPORT

                The Cherokee Braves wrestling team split (2-2) their four matches at the EBCI Duals held at Cherokee High School on Saturday, Dec. 11.  Cherokee beat Hendersonville (34-30) and Hiwassee Dam (47-12) and lost to East Henderson (41-40) and Swain (45-28). 

                Cherokee actually tied East Henderson at 40 each, but lost in a tie breaker at the fifth level.  That awarded one point to East Henderson who took the win at 41-40.  In its loss to Swain, the Braves did well when it had a wrestler on the mat.  Cherokee won five of seven matches in which a Brave participated, but lost five matches (30 points) due to forfeits. 

                One milestone was reached on Saturday.  Cherokee’s head coach Ian Roper got his 300th coaching win in wrestling with the win over Hendersonville.
