AREA ROUNDUP

MOSCOW — James Greene didn’t know he was on the verge of his 100th wrestling win.

After pinning his opponent in 43 seconds in the Bears’ dual with Priest River on Wednesday in Moscow, the standing ovation from the crowd and the glowing reactions of his teammates and a graphic that announced his 100th win clued him in on the milestone

“When he turned around and looked at the video board and saw his 100th win there, his face was priceless,” Moscow coach Zac Carscallen said.

Greene is the fifth Bear over the past 10 years to reach 100 wins.

The senior’s century mark win highlighted a pair of dual wins for the Moscow boys and girls wrestling programs.

The Bears boys won 52-36 and the Bear girls won 18-6.

Eian Schwecke continued what Carscallen called a dominant season with a win in the 126-pound bracket. Erik Gulbrandsen won in the 190 class via fall after 3 minutes and 44 seconds.
