Despite dual match losses to Webb School and Knoxville Catholic Thursday, Jan. 19, at KCHS, Bearden whipped Heritage and Sevier County the day before at South-Doyle. The Bulldogs dropped a 36-30 decision to SDHS.
“Ian Little [112-pound class], he’s progressing,” Andersen said while listing some of his top wrestlers of late. “Nathan Bevelhimer [152], he’s not at his peak yet, but he’s starting to come through. And I would say Andrew Birdwell [125], he’s up and down, when he’s up he’s good … hopefully this weekend coming up on K-I-L will be a positive thing for him.”
As for Bevelhimer and Birdwell both finishing fourth at the annual Halls Invitational Jan. 14, “It was good to see where they were at … it was a good showing … they wrestled hard, they had some tough matches,” Andersen said. “There were some good teams there [such as] Brentwood Academy.”
Other top efforts included freshman Matt Moore at 130, “he’s really coming on strong,” Andersen said. “Sam Bevelhimer,, he’s really coming on, he a freshman [140]. He’s athletic, he’s picking it up, he’s doing well for us.”
