Foran High’s wrestling team took home the Trumbull Duals title on Saturday.
Coach Dave Esposito’s Lions won Pool B on criteria over Ledyard by having the most points scored in their three matches.
Given the opportunity by rule, Foran left no doubt on the mat with a 54-26 victory over Pool A champion Pomperaug of Southbury in the finals.
Four consecutive pins gave the Lions (8-3) a 24-3 lead over the Panthers (4-2).
Will Mauro pinned in 33 seconds at 132 pounds, Ethan Edmondson in 1:34 at 138, Tyler Stanko in 1:40 at 145 and Ryan Luth in 58 seconds at 152.
Liam Ives (50 seconds at 182), Qasim Khan (3:15 at 195), Orlando Velez (2:59 at 106) and Michael Giordano (1:16 at 120) also won by pinfall. Patrick Rescsanski was awarded a forfeit at heavyweight.
Giordano, Mauro, Stanko and Luth were 4-0 on the day.
