Eisenhower got an up-close look at one of the best wrestling programs in the state Tuesday night, dropping a 69-6 dual meet to defending District 10 champion Fort LeBoeuf at Eisenhower High School.
LeBoeuf started strong with a win in the night's opening match at 113, and didn't let up until Eisenhower's Jake Johnson pinned the Bisons' Garrett Renwald in the second period of the 195-pound match.
"Sometimes you're the dog and sometimes you're the hydrant," said Knights coach Kiel Woodburn. "Jake Johnson pulled through again and wrestled well. We have to wrestle better as a team."

Corry 45, Youngsville 33
CORRY - Youngsville was within arm's reach with a couple weight classes to go, but fell to Corry in the Region 3 match at Corry Area High School.
"Even though the scoreboard doesn't show it, I think we did a good job tonight," said Youngsville coach Scott Ishman.
Jeremy Lyon was winning at 182 pounds when Alex Suydan injury defaulted. And Stone Sivak and Jaykup Durlin has consecutive pins at 195 and 220 for the early 18-6 Youngsville lead.
Corry's ranked 195-pounder Ryan Morris bumped up to 220 and battled Durlin to a 0-0 score through one period before getting caught.
On the mat, Youngsville wouldn't win for a few weight classes until Chester Ciukaj earned a 5-2 decision at 120. Later, Aaron Hoover earned a 9-2 decision at 140.
"It was exciting on both sides, and I think my kids wrestled really, really hard tonight," said Ishman, whose Eagles are at Fort LeBoeuf on Thursday.

Central Tech 46, Warren 25
ERIE - Central Tech defeated Warren for the first time in recent memory on Tuesday at Central Tech High School.
It was the first time the Falcons defeated the Dragons since Glenn Baldensperger has been coach and he's in his 12th season. Warren had won at least seven straight since District 10 created regions in the 2003-04 season.
"(Central Tech is) improved," said Baldensperger, whose Dragons were without two starters due to injury/illness, and started 10 wrestlers who were either freshmen or sophomores.
"(Regardless), we gave up too many bonus points," he said. "The guys that won went out and did what they should have done. We lost some matches we probably should have been in."
