Lizi Arbogast / The Outlook Benjamin Russell's Braxton Ray, top, holds onto control of Jasper's Xac Phillips during Tuesday's match.

With five straight pins to start the night, Benjamin Russell gave Jasper no wiggle room during Tuesday night’s wrestling match. The Wildcats set the tone early and rode that momentum to a 57-22 victory on Senior Night.

Prior to the match, seniors Kyle Mattox, Hezekiah Hunter, Pokey Norris, Bobby Charsha, Braxton Ray, Nyshaad Hannon, Saxon Coker, Devion Freeman and Peyton Young were all honored. Of the nine seniors, eight saw mat time against the Vikings and all but one picked up a victory.
