“Our lineup was a lot emptier that it has been. We’re still the walking wounded,” Bradford head coach Jamey Miller said. “The positive I can take out of tonight is we have time to get healthy before Districts. Overall, I thought the kids wrestled well, but a couple of those matches, I don’t think we should have lost… It only takes one mistake, and I tell the kids that all the time, but unfortunately, mistakes happened.”
The Bradford matmen are back in action tonight against Punxsutawney to end its regular season. Johnsonburg visits Oswayo Valley.
