A fast start wasn’t quite enough for the Boomers as Altus overcame a 30-3 deficit to win 42-30 in high school wrestling at Boomer Fieldhouse Thursday.

The Boomers scored pins in five of the first six matches but Altus won the last seven matches of the dual. Two forfeits by the Boomers were the difference in the match, giving Altus the 12-point victory margin.

Kevin Branine, Jake Jones, Michael Comstock, Matt Johnson and Jacob Morgan all recorded quick pins for the Boomers. Branine and Johnson pinned their foes in less than a minute.
