MIFFLINTOWN — The Juniata Indians stepped onto its home mats Saturday for the annual Juniata Duals, a six-round test of stamina, depth and resilience. The Indians battled through a long day of wrestling that featured dramatic swings, standout individual performances, and several near-misses that kept the home crowd engaged from start to finish.

Juniata’s morning began against a powerful Montgomery squad that quickly seized control. Montgomery rolled to a 65-6 win behind a series of pins and technical falls, overwhelming the Indians in the early rounds.

Though Juniata finished the Duals at 1-5, there were plenty of individual highlights especially the middleweights — Anthony Maradiaga, Cody Nipple and Ryder Smith — who were consistently dominant, while Kenton Bonnell was unchallenged at 285 pounds.

At 133, Maradiaga pinned all four of his opponents to go 4-1 at the Duals. Nipple went 4-2 with four falls, while Smith ended up 5-1 with a pair of falls and a technical at 152. At 285, Bonnell needed 55 seconds to pin Montgomery’s Dominic Swyers but didn’t wrestle again as he picked up five victories by forfeit to go 6-0.
