'A lot of fun': Jay County and Delta wrestling battle in matchup of 2A's top teams

PORTLAND, Ind. — Jay County and Delta boys wrestling have quickly formed an exciting East Central Indiana rivalry.

The programs, both coming off terrific 2021-22 seasons, are ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in Class 2A, respectively, according to Indianamat.com. The teams met at Jay County High School on Tuesday for the Patriots' annual Double Duals, which also featured Yorktown and Winchester, and the hosts topped the Eagles 42-29.

For an early-season wrestling meet, it was as good a show as the athletes, parents and fans could've hoped for, with several matches being tightly contested and the end result coming down to a couple close comeback victories.
