Montague senior Chris Aebig achieved a career milestone at Saturday’s Holiday Mat Cat Duals, scoring his 100th victory as part of a perfect 5-0 day individually.
Aebig, already a three-time state qualifier, achieved his mark by pinning Cale Howie of Tri-County in the first period of his third match of the day. In fact, said coach Kris Maddox, all of Aebig’s opponents so far have gone down by either pin or technical fall.
“Chris has been dominant thus far this season,” Maddox said.
Fletcher Thommen also scored a 5-0 day for Montague, and Jimmy Thommen went 4-1 in his season debut after being medically cleared from an internal injury.
The Wildcats notched a 2-3 record as a team against some tough competition. Montague dropped its first three matches, to Cadillac, Mattawan and Tri-County, before closing the day with wins over Muskegon Catholic and the Reeths-Puffer B squad.
“We have a few kids out with injuries and sickness and hope the two weeks before we compete again will allow for us to heal up,” Maddox said.
