About this Article

Two-hundred and 20 pounds was emblematic of the one-sided victory the Batavia wrestling team handed West Aurora. Connor McKeehan was losing for virtually the entire match against West Aurora seasoned veteran Julian Lopez. But the Bulldogs' junior, trailing by 5 points, caught Lopez in a move and suddenly terminated the match in the last half-minute. It was one of seven 6-point matches the Bulldogs chalked up during their 56-21 victory over West Aurora Saturday morning in Batavia.
