Indians pin loss on Central in dual

Members of the Jackson wrestling team can thank the weather for an assist in giving them some bragging rights over Central.

The Indians posted a 53-18 victory Thursday in the first dual meet between the two schools in four years, according to Central coach Josh Crowell. Central had been trying to host a four-team meet with a Marquette and Rockwood Summit as participants but the St. Louis County schools had been unable to make the trip south.

The Indians (8-0) dominated the heavier divisions. Jackson's Kremer Rampley ran his record to 37-0 with a win by fall at 171 pounds and 145-pounder Cody Rouse improved to 36-1, also with a win by pin.

Despite the loss, Central (5-4) completed back-to-back winning seasons in dual meets for the first time in more than a decade.Jackson 53, Central 18
