Dailey wins one at State – Tiger Wrestling results
Beardstown’s Garrett “Chunk” Dailey picked up one win against two losses at last week’s IHSA State Tournament in Champaign.
The burly junior, wrestling at 285 pounds, lost his first match by fall to David McCarthy of Chicago De LaSalle High School. McCarthy would go on to place 5th overall in the state. In the next day’s wrestle back bracket, Dailey won by fall in 1:39 over Jared Claunch of Bryon. Just over an hour later Chunk’s season ended in a heartbreaker as he lost a 2-1 decision to Roy Phelps of Chicago Hope. Although the final defeat was a tough one to swallow, Dailey will be back on the mats for the Tigers next year.
