HUNTSVILLE — The Hewitt-Trussville wrestling team fell in the opening round of the 2020 AHSAA State Dual Championships on Thursday afternoon to a Huntsville team that advanced to face either Vestavia Hills or Bob Jones in the quarterfinals.
The Huskies jumped out early to an 11-4 lead behind victories from Owen Boren, 154 pounds; Hunter Jones, 172 pounds; and Conner Cantwell, 184 pounds. However, Huntsville rallied and ticked off a five-match win streak that accounted for a 27-0 run. That streak nullified the Huskies’ late 15-6 rally in the final five matches.
In the end, Huntsville prevailed 36-26.
