Chapin Battles Tough Competition to Finish Third at Military Duals; Cole Haile Earns Most Outstanding Wrestler Award

On January 15-16, the Chapin Eagles hosted the Military Duals tournament at Chapin High School. The 11-team tournament featured teams from throughout South Carolina. Lead by the upper weight (152 pounds and above) Most Outstanding Wrestler Cole Haile who registered a 6-0 record, all wins by pin, the Eagles fought to a third place finish. This was made more impressive because Chapin forfeited one weight on Saturday because of an injury.

Haile started the match with a pin and was followed by consecutive pins Grant Frick, Nick Edenfield, and Hank Manos, which provided a commanding 24-0 advantage. Nation Ford cut the lead to 24-9; then, Dylan Whitcomb, Paul Collingwood, and Cole Hodges answered with a pin and two decisions, respectively, to build a 36-9 lead. Jake Watson ended Chapin’s scoring with a pin, and the Eagles emerged with a 42-29 victory.

Chapin then faced the Boiling Springs Bulldogs, who had given the Eagles their only loss of the season to date. Boiling Springs had surged to a 12-0 lead when Manos got the Eagles on the board with a decision. Even though Chapin fought gamely, the Bulldogs continued to earn wins and built a 28-3 lead. The Eagles responded by receiving a forfeit and pins by Hodges and Cabe to cut the deficit to 28-21. Chapin dropped the next four bouts, and Haile ended the match with a pin and the Eagles succumbed 52-27.

Chapin bounced back to defeat York 44-31. Manos began the match with a pin and a 6-0 lead. With Chapin up 6-4, the Eagles won 5 of the next six bouts to extend the lead to 32-7. Noel Hurley recorded a technical fall; Whitcomb, Hodges, and Kyle Nichols won by pin and Cabe earned a decision. AJ Spearman and Haile closed Chapin’s scoring with pins.

The Eagles started Saturday’s competition with a 54-24 victory over Dutch Fork. The Eagles combined 3 forfeits and pins by Hodges and Nichols to build a 30-0 advantage. Watson, Spearman, Haile strung together two decisions and a pin to build a 42-6 lead. Hurley ended Chapin’s scoring and the match with a pin.

Chapin then entered the Top-4 round of competition and faced Rock Hill. The Bearcats proved too strong and handed the Eagles their third loss of the season, 42-24. Collingwood began the match with a pin and Cabe earned a decision to stake the Eagles to a 9-3 lead. Spearman, Haile, and Edenfield provided a decision and two pins and the Eagles closed the gap to 27-24. However, that was the end to Chapin’s scoring and Rock Hill prevailed.

The final match of the tournament featured Chapin and a tough Westwood squad battling for Third Place honors. Cabe earned a major decision to put the Eagles on the board. Trailing 11-4, Dalton Pierce pinned his opponent and Chapin received a forfeit to regain the lead at 16-11. With Eagles trailing 17-16, Haile registered his sixth pin of the tournament to put Chapin in front 22-17. Westwood battled back to take a 27-22 advantage. Manos cut the lead to 27-25 with a decision. Following a Chapin forfeit, Hurley closed the deficit to 33-31 with a pin. Westwood forfeited to Collingwood and the match ended in a 37-37 tie.
