Jan. 25: Milford 45, HB 21

In a battle of two of the top teams in Division II, the Spartans prevailed against a Cavaliers team missing some key components.

In the match of the night, Hollis Brookline’s Forrest Coon-Roberts used an escape at the end of the third overtime to decision Milford’s Scott Dannewitz 7-6 at 160 pounds.

Another key highlight was Jake McPherson recording his 100th victory with a pin at 138 pounds.

Milford had pin victories from Ruben Carson at 120, Thomas Scannell at 126, Devin Dolliver at 132, Connor Borne at 152, Andrew Myers at 182 and Jordan Gaudette at 220.

Milford also had victory at 170 from Joe Albina and forfeit wins at 113 and heavyweight. Also winning by pin for Hollis Brookline was Nate Ashe at 195. John Lopez had a decision at 113 for the Cavs and teammate Zach Jennings won by decision at 145.

“Hollis Brookline is very well coached and the match was much closer than the score might indicate,” Milford coach Dana Bourassa said. “They might have the best tournament team in Division II.”

Both Milford and Hollis Brookline added victories over Spaulding of Rochester in the three-team meet.
