The Reeths-Puffer wrestling team remains on target in its quest for a third straight O-K Green conference championship following a 53-21 victory over Muskegon on Wednesday.
The Rockets battled their way to five victories on the mat, and were also aided by Muskegon forfeits in five weight classes.
Winning matches for R-P Blake Miller (120 pounds), Tanner Cowles (138), Lyric Stewart (175), Andrew Corradin (190) and Sage Secrest (285).
Max Knowlton, Travis Henderson, Cory Judd, Ian Cook and Devin Welch won by forfeit.
R-P's Tanner Cowles
Cowles stepped up one weight class to battle a tough Big Red wrestler, Tobias Melton, and scraped out a victory in a high-scoring match, 14-12.
"As a team the kids wrestled well against a fast and aggressive Muskegon team," said R-P head coach Brad Cowles. "Muskegon got the best of us in a few matches, but we had some kids really step up during the dual."
Reeths-Puffer is now 16-5 overall in dual matches and 3-0 in the conference standings.
The Rockets will next compete in Saturday's Greater Muskegon Athletic Association City Tournament.
