Tigers back on top, end two-year losing skid against Flames in wrestling

Posted: Thursday, December 6, 2012 12:00 am | Updated: 7:46 am, Thu Dec 6, 2012.

The turnaround was swift and powerful. Early in the first round of his 195-pound bout, Eric Stipe of the Tokay Tigers found himself down 5-0 against Nathan Crawford of the Lodi Flames. It was a precarious position, but one that changed in a matter of seconds. One swing of the leg, one slam down to the ground and before long, Stipe’s pin was complete.

A Tigers rout in The Inferno at Lodi High School soon followed.
