Rockets digs out of hole against Big Northern rival
Knocked back down
BYRON – After scaling a mountain Thursday evening, only to be knocked off, the Rock Falls Rockets looked gassed at the Byron wrestling triangular.
After rallying back from multiple 20-point deficits against the hosting Tigers, the Rockets lost 38-34 when Carlos Gutierrez was pinned by defending Class 1A champion Nelson Baker in the 120-pound match.
Whereas Baker has added some bulk since their first meeting last season and is ranked No. 2 at 120 by Illinois Matmen, Gutierrez was wrestling up a class.
