Once the individual recognition of every senior took place, they lined up to take a group photo. It was truly a beautiful ceremony. The Senior Night festivities wrapped up and the team was ready to wrestle. The action on the mat certainly did not disappoint.

To start, the Raiders struggled as 4 of the first 6 wrestlers from Scarsdale lost. The two victorious Scarsdales wrestlers were Ben Xiao winning easily in the 175lb weight class and Adam Segal in the 215 LB class. Segal's match was very exciting and it came down to the final move where it looked like Segal had lost, but came up with a nail-biting victory. The already loud and rambunctious crowd, went crazy when Segal escaped from his opponent to earn a 8-7 victory.
