Tomah downs DeForest

Tomah found itself back in the State Team Tournament Tuesday night after defeating DeForest 38-23.  The Timberwolves won 8 of 14 matches including two by two points or less.  The match of the night may have been the first match of the night.  Starting off at 285, Tomah’s John Van Gundy (36-7) took down DeForest’s Richard Skaife (35-10) in a 7-6 double overtime victory.  While it was the closest match, it also might been the slowest match of the night.  Both wrestlers were one call away from being disqualified for stalling and each received four stalling points from their opponent.  Each earned an escape during the match leading to a 5-5 tie heading into overtime.
