TOWER CITY - It had all the intensity of a typical Tri-Valley vs. Williams Valley event. And then some.
Alex Raho decisioned Kyle Stephen at 120 pounds in the final contested bout to give Williams Valley a 33-32 victory over Tri-Valley in a non-league wrestling match Monday night.
Tri-Valley (2-6) stormed out of the gate, as Caleb Bordner (132), Chase Schaeffer (138) and Hunter Harner (145) recorded first-period falls and Anthony Snyder (152) won by major decision to give the Dawgs a 22-0 lead.
The Vikings (4-8) were able to climb back into it thanks to three forfeits, and there were no bouts at 160 and 126 pounds. Still, Tri-Valley led when Mason White (195) won by fall and Sammy Hepler scored a major decision of Willy Girard at 106.
Freshman Dagan Dickinson gave the Vikings hope with a second-period fall at 113. Raho clinched the comeback with a 9-6 decision, giving the Vikings their third straight dual-meet win.
