WEBSTER CITY — A quickly-scheduled dual allowed Woodward-Granger wrestling to host Class 2A No. 4 Webster City Thursday, two days after the Hawks won twice in a triangular at AC/GC.
The Lynx were 51-22 winners over the Hawks Thursday, results which followed wins of 69-9 over Baxter and of 60-24 over host AC/GC for W-G on Tuesday. AC/GC was a 47-24 winner over Baxter in the other dual.
W-G scored Thursday in four matches. Dustin Harney pinned Brady Jensen in 1 minute, 29 seconds at 160 pounds, with Devan Brown pinning Jason Cherry in 4:53 at 195.

In a battle of ranked wrestlers, defending state champion and top-rated 113-pounder Camron Phetxoumphone (18-0) was able to pin 10th-ranked Peyton Nixon (24-3) midway through the second period.
