The Dexter Bearcats won five-straight wrestling matches to overcome an early deficit to beat Kennett 52-30 Thursday at Dexter High School.

The Indians took an 18-0 lead, including a pair of forfeit wins and Zach Kulin’s pin of Chase Berry in the 113-pound bout.

The Bearcats posted three-straight wins by pinball to tie the score 18 and took the lead for good when James Deberry beat Spencer Potts by major decision, 21-7, at 145 pounds.

Dexter stretched its lead to 22 points on two occasions: 46-24 on a forfeit win at 195 and 52-30 on Kolin Simpson’s pin of Kewon Hopkins 41 seconds into the third period of the 285-pound match.

Dexter (7-7) will face Cameron, Park Hills Central and Sullivan in a quad match at 4:30 p.m. Friday at Sullivan High School.

The Bearcats will not compete in the Owensville tournament on Saturday because of the impending winter storm.
