The Noblesville wrestling team finished its regular season by beating Alexandria 44-32 Thursday in a dual meet at The Mill.
The Tigers won the first two matches by pin to take a 12-0 lead, but the Millers zoomed back ahead by winning the next five bouts. Caleb Dean won the 170-pound match by major decision, and Seth Stone followed that with a major decision victory at 182.
Noblesville’s heavyweights won the next three matches by fall: Austin Hastings at 195, Jacob Long at 220 and Jacob Etchison at 285. All three Millers pinned their opponents in the first period. With that, Noblesville took a 26-12 lead.
Alexandria won the next four bouts to go ahead 32-26, but the Millers swept the next three matches for the win. Keaton Sepiol received a forfeit at 132, then CJ Livingston (at 138) and Gage Gulley (at 145) picked up quick pins.
Noblesville and Alexandria will likely see each other again, as both will compete at the Elwood sectional, which takes place Saturday, Jan. 29.
