Kicking off action in the Northwestern 3A/4A, rivals Fred T. Foard and St. Stephens squared off on the wrestling mat Tuesday.

They didn’t disappoint.

After 13-of-14 matches wrestled, a mere point separated the teams — 36-35.

Foard’s Michael Vincent and St. Stephens’ Chris Hunt tangled at 126 pounds with the winner helping his team claim the match.

Knowing what was at stake, Vincent pinned Hunt, lifting the Tigers to their 21st victory of the season.
