By PAUL STURMLCL Sports Editorpsturm@cherryroad.comBROOKFIELD — In addition to being among the limited number of county high school sports teams to beat Mother Nature during the week, both home squads dominated their matches as Brookfield High School’s wrestlers dispatched Chillicothe a week ago yesterday.Catching a small break between snows, as well as getting the jump on the arctic-like temperature drop, late that afternoon, what originally was to have been a 3-schools double-dual also involving Gallatin morphed into a single clash among the closer neighbors.The competition wasn’t close, though, as host Brookfield, a state team-trophy winner in each gender last year and a prospect for a similar showing this year, overwhelmed its guest in rapid fashion.The Lady Bulldogs set the tone by a 48-18 count and the Bulldogs followed suit with a 45-36 verdict which wasn’t anywhere near that close in action that wrapped up in a blink over one hour, even with an approximately 5-minutes delay while an ailing Chillicothe wrestler was tended to for an apparent diabetes-related episode.The girls’ match involved only four contested bouts out of a possible 14 and merely one of those four lasted over a minute.The boys’ competition then saw half of Chillicothe’s points total derived from the simple fact it had a full lineup and BHS didn’t.
