Last year’s state runner-ups, the Wrestling Coalers, were successful during the Shepard Duals on Saturday, picking up three consecutive wins over New Trier, Richards and Marist.
Coal City (4-1) was matched up with New Trier first, edging them 39-32 with six pins, a Zach Finch technical fall and a Lane Kutemeier major decision.
They followed that up with a strong win over Oak Lawn (Richards), gaining 54 points on nine forfeits. They coupled that with three pins and that gave them more than enough.
