SHELBYVILLE, IL. — Shelbyville Ram wrestling put two more feathers in their cap on Thursday, hosting and defeating both Mattoon, 37-32, and Mt. Zion, 47-21.

Shelbyville ran their dual record to 18-4 with their sweep over two quality perennial programs. Shelbyville had seven of their wrestlers sweep the night, winning both of their matches.

Garrett Brachbill (24-2) won by a 2nd period pin and a 10-3 decision. Jarred Hicks (126) won by a 11-9 decision and a forfeit. Jared Finley won by 3rd period pin and a forfeit. Wyatt Fox (145/138) won by an big 11-4 decision and a close 3-2 decision.

Lucas Duckett (160/152) won by 1st period pin and by a narrow 4-2 decision. Mitchell Barna (195) won by major decision, 12-4, and a tech fall, 24-7. Elliott Smithson (220) won both matches by pins, a late 3rd period and a 1st period pin.

The Rams took eight of 14 matches from Mattoon in a close contest. The difference was the five pins the Rams won, as opposed to the one pin and two forfeits Mattoon won.

Lucas Duckett (21-5), wrestling 160, beat the clock by sticking Paige with just two seconds left in the 1st period (1:58). Elliott Smithson (220) got the other pin, also beating the clock, sticking Dyer with just three seconds left in the match.

Wyatt Fox (205), wrestling 145, rolled over Hillebeitel by an 11-4 major decision. Mitchell Barna (9-0) wrestled 195 and worked a major decision over Ruiz, 12-4. Jarred Hicks (126) then stepped up to get a win in a blow-for-blow battle with Juska, 11-9.
