In a battle of the top two teams in League VI, the Eagles suffered a 45-18 loss to an undefeated John Glenn team Thursday evening.

The Eagles had to forfeit four matches, 171, 189, 215 and 285, because one wrestler had pink eye and three more had strep throat. The loss was hardly indicitave of what has been an impressive season for a young team thus far.
