Entering his first varsity match of the season Wednesday night against Wakefield, Sanderson 112-pound wrestler Marshall Bass was taken down before he could even hit the mat.
Moments after checking in for his match — which was the first bout of the Cap-7 Conference opener — Bass grabbed a seat on the nearby bleachers, hobbled by serious leg cramps.
A minute later, with the assistance of a Spartan trainer, Bass worked out the kinks in his lower leg, took the floor and scored a pin in 1:32.
The first-round victory set the tone for Sanderson, which scored a 45-18 win over Wakefield, including pins in four of the first six matches.
