The Bacon Academy Bobcats had a goal Wednesday afternoon that they almost achieved on the wrestling mat.
"We wanted to hold (Windham) to 30 points," Bacon Academy coach Michael Voiland said, "That was our goal."
The Bobcats weren't all that far off that, switch one match around and the score easily could have been 31-30 instead of the 37-25 final Windham victory.
"Whatever good team we wrestle, we want to hold to 30 points," Voiland added. "We were close against their starting lineup."
Voiland hopes the good outing against Windham will earn the Bobcats a little respect as they have posted a 14-4 record this year although they are just 1-3 in a difficult Eastern Connecticut Conference.
"I knew Bacon would be tough," Windham coach Pat Risley said, "it's a 12-point match and we won three or four close ones. Two go their way, tie match, so I knew it would be tough."
The Whippets did build a 37-10 lead which helped them a bit for the remainder of the year as 215 pound wrestler Doug Ross, who's a little worse for the wear right now, got a day of rest.
Just one quick note to add from basketball, congratulations to Kerrianne Dugan of Waterford for reaching the 1000 point mark in her career. We will have the active career point leaders for girls basketball in Monday's notebook.
