Prairie pushes No.2 Bettendorf in finals

Cedar Rapids Prairie nearly toppled one of the giants of prep wrestling Saturday at the 5 Seasons Duals.

The Hawks built a 15-point lead against second-ranked Bettendorf before falling, 38-33, in the championship round of the day-long tournament at Kennedy High School.

Prairie owned a 33-18 lead with four matches left against Bettendorf, but the Bulldogs still had three top-ranked wrestlers in their tank - including a pair of defending state champions who are accustomed to winning big matches.

Bettendorf collected two pins, a decision and a technical fall in the last four bouts and rallied for the 38-33 victory.

Bettendorf won the Class 3A state title last February and returns three state champions with Jack Wagner, Jacob Schwarm and Fredy Stroker.
