HAMPTON -- Great Bridge survived an early scare from Kingsway Regional (N.J.) to take a first-round 45-28 dual meet victory at the Virginia Duals at the Hampton Coliseum.
With the Wildcats holding a 30-22 lead, Great Bridge recorded three straight pins -- T.J. Snukis (160), Alan Clamp (171) and Billy Curling (189). Jim Carter (215) recorded a last-second takedown over Mark Stein to add some insurance. The Wildcats also used three technical falls, all 15-0 -- in the 103, 112, and 152-pound classes.
Great Bridge, the No. 3 seed in the National High School Division, will face Eastern Regional (N.J.), the division's No. 5 seed. Eastern Regional got past Langley 35-22 in the first round.
