It was a wrestling bonanza at the Lely Wrestling Duals on Saturday at Lely High.

There were some very close matches as 13 teams wrestled dual meets, rotating teams in Pool A or B.

After four rounds, Fort Myers and North Fort Myers, in Pool A and Cape Coral-Mariner, in Pool B, were undefeated.

Following a draw to match up the best teams in the two pools, Fort Myers edged Mariner to finish 5-0 and North Fort Myers finished a perfect day by downing Ida Baker, who had been second in Pool B.

Mariner finished, 4-1. Lely, Barron Collier, Ida Baker and South Fort Myers were 3-2, Cypress Lake and Miami Bay Point, 1-3 and East Lee, 0-4.

Overall, Fort Myers had nine wrestlers finish in the top two, while North Fort Myers, Ida Baker and Lely had seven.

"The day was a good chance to give a lot of our younger kids experience," said Barron Collier coach Jeff Mustari.

Tige Thompson, Lely's coach and duals coordinator, said there was some very close matches, with Fort Myers edging Mariner, 39-37, to keep its perfect slate.

"There were 24 wrestlers who went 5-0 today, against some really good competition, he said.

Lely’s David Isme, 140 pounds, had a good shot of going 5-0, but chose to wrestle up to the next weight class to battle Robinson Merci of North Fort Myers, who defeated him a year ago, keeping Isme from going to state.

"Isme lost 9-7, but he set a good example for our wrestlers by facing a big challenge," Thompson said.

Lely’s Louis Gonzalez, 215, won all five matches to raise his record to 8-0 on the season."My big match is to come in two weeks at Manatee (Invitational) where I get to go up against Richard Cunningham who finished second in the state last year," he said.
