The Wayne High wrestling team dropped its first dual of the season, as Norfolk Catholic posted a 54-24 win in action Thursday at Norfolk Catholic High School.
The Blue Devils won five of nine contested matches, but gave up 30 points in forfeits to account for the difference in the final team score.
Reece Jaqua (120), Cameron Muhs (126), and Berto Vergara (170) all won on first-period pins, while Juan Vergara (132) and Victor Kniesche (138) both won matches by decision.
