Rishi Bagchi (120), Aiden Shakirov (175) and Suchey Karna (190) scored pins for Montgomery, as the Cougars wrapped up the Skyland Conference Valley Division title with a 40-26 victory over Franklin in Somerset. Montgomery won nine of 14 bouts on the way to wrapping up its second straight division title; its first under first-year coach Jamar Thigpen. The Cougars won three of the first four bouts, including a 5-3 decision for Gavin Fong at 126 over Alexis Perez-Sanchez. Franklin moved back within sight of the lead at 132, with a technical fall win by Alexander Holt, but the Cougars answered with four straight wins, including a major decision by Eilor Mezhericher at 157. With Shakirov and Karna still warming up, it was too much to overcome.
