The Junior Jays were put behind the eight ball to begin their home dual with numerous of forfeitures, but pulled out a 42-29 win over Taft Middle School.
With five forfeits and 30 points (Taft was deducted one point) given to their opponent, Guthrie needed seven wins. However, those seven wins all needed to be pins. No problem. Thats exactly what they did to pick up the home win.
