The Hurricane meet some tough competition at the Taking Down Autism Duals Tournament @ William Floyd - Finish 3rd

WHB headed to William Floyd for the Austism Speaks Duals Tournament on Saturday. The Canes broke even on the day with a 2-2 dual meet record which left them in 3rd place of the 5 team field. The Hurricanes were not at full strength and a bit rusty. Nothing too unusual for early December. WHB met up with Riverhead in the 9am time slot and came away with a 49-34 victory. After a bye at 11am the Canes then faced off against Smithtown West. Ranked #3 in Section Xi, the Bulls are extremely strong and talented. The Canes were not able to keep pace and dropped the match 50-27. Host William Floyd was the opponent at 3pm and WHB got back on the winning track with a convincing 53-22 victory. That setup the 5pm match with Division II powerhouse Mattituck, Featuring 8 county ranked wrestlers in Division II, Mattituck was too much for the Hurricanes this day posting a 59-24 victory over the Canes. WHB got a lot of mat time, showed some new faces on the varsity mats. Additionally, most of the JV wrestlers were able to get matches either through exhibition or via the small JV tournament that was hosted in the wrestling room. While I'm sure there is always plenty to improve upon, it was a good start to the season! The Canes travel to Easthampton this Saturday 12/9 for the Sprig Gardner Tournament!
