CARLISLE: When Chambersburg and Carlisle lock up in a dual meet, you know you are in for a good one.
Tight matches. Impact pins. Three or four swing matches. Big momentum shifts. All wrapped into two hours of must-see for mat fans.
Thursday was no different. The Trojans captured the last two bouts of the night to erase a one-point deficit and earn a 33-28 road victory.
David Rump and Johnnie Hughes were the stars.
Rump, a 138-pound junior, gave the Trojans the lead with a 9-3 decision over Tyler Vangi. Hughes clinched the team victory with a 5-1 decision over Grant Shughart.
Aaron Rump (106), Matt Strunk (113), Garrett Kyner (126) and David Law (152) earned falls in the win. Carlisle was led by Cody Gorsuch (132) and Hasan Alic (220), who both earned falls in the loss.
In the closest match of the night, Trojans junior Calvin O'Farrell slipped by Chris McCullough 4-3 in the 195-pound bout.
