The Avery wrestling team traveled to Ledger on Wednesday evening to close out regular season dual meet action with the Mitchell Mountaineers. Mitchell won decisively in a meet one week earlier, and the Mountaineers were strong again on their Senior Night, defeating the Vikings by a 57-13 final team score.
Winners in the dual for Avery included Anthony Varacalli, who was victorious by 11-3 major decision over Mitchell's Maxx Glenn. Jose Munoz won by pinfall at the 152-pound class for Avery's lone pin of the night. Brock Yackey was the only other Viking to earn a win, as he shut out his opponent by a 6-0 final score.
Both Avery and Mitchell compete in the Western Highlands Conference tournament this Friday at Madison High School. Avery did not qualify for the State Duals to be held next week, so the next action following the conference tournament will come at the NCHSAA 1A/2A Western Regionals, held at North Henderson High School on February 13 and 14.
