The Green Dragon’s wrestling team added three wins to their dual record for the season and recorded their first loss of the season on Saturday. Duxbury participated in a multi-team Dual match hosted by
Bridgewater-Raynham and including Longmeadow, Agawam, and Taunton. The day’s wrestling for the Dragons started with Bridgewater-Raynham. Very little went the Dragon’s way with many reliable winners for the Dragons losing tough matches. Bright spots for the Dragons included Scott Klebanoffs’s match against last year’s Massachusetts All State and New England champion, Rob LeRoux. Scott fended off both a technical fall and a pin, preventing LeRoux from scoring five or six team points and holding LeRoux to a gain of only four team points in the 135 pound weight class. Wins for Duxbury against B-R included Steve Celino (152 pounds), Matt Lanuto (171 pounds), Ian McConnaughey (119 pounds), and Kyle McCarthy (125 pounds). All four Duxbury wins were pins. The final score was 47-24 in favor of Bridgewater-Raynham.

Duxbury’s second match of the day was against an overmatched Taunton team. Duxbury won all ten bouts wrestled for a final score of 57-0. Scott Klebanoff (140), Josh Caldwell (160), Don Perry (171), Elmo Roberts (189), Anthony Binsfield (215), Kris Burgos (275), Kevin Donoghue (119), Greg Woods (125), and Kyle McCarthy (130) all scored pins for the Dragons. Nick Petrocelli (145) won his bout by major decision.

In the third match of the day Longmeadow gave the Dragons some tough bouts, but Duxbury was able to pull out a convincing 45-28 win. Doug Imbrogna (145), Josh Caldwell (160), Matt Lanuto (171), Adam Johnson (103), and Ian McConnaughey (119) all recorded pins for the Dragons. Adam Johnson’s win was also his first win by pin in a varsity match. In the 215 pound match, Anthony Binsfield won by injury default when Mike Bazos of Longmeadow hurt his knee and was unable to continue the bout. Other wins for Duxbury included a major decision by Steve Celino (152) and a technical fall by Kyle McCarthy(125).
