BATAVIA – Thursday’s wrestling dual meet between Batavia and Geneva featured tight battles, exciting finishes and three overtime matches. The Bulldogs wound up on top in all three of the bouts that went to extra time, sealing a 41-23 victory in Upstate Eight River action.

Wrestling started at 170 pounds and the Vikings (9-1, 1-1) jumped out to a quick lead thanks to Tony Castelvecchi’s 11-4 victory over Nick Offut.

“It’s always fun wrestling Batavia because a lot of these kids we wrestle the same wrestling club teams with,” Castelvecchi said. “We’re all mostly pretty good friends with them. It’s a good rivalry.”
