Butler's Steven Green gets a reversal on Armstrong's Hunter Turner in their 145-pound match Wednesday night in the Butler Intermediate gym. Green won his match by technical fall.

BUTLER TWP — Butler wrestling coach Scott Stoner knows Armstrong well. Last month, he watched it win the Chartiers-Houston Tournament and is impressed with the physicality the River Hawks bring to the mat.

Wednesday night, he was even more impressed with the manner in which his team responded to it.

Butler tallied five pins in earning a key Section 3A match at home, 46-24.

“I knew that Armstrong was a physical team and they were going to push the throttle against us,” Stoner said. “We’ve been amping up for this one. I think in most of the bouts tonight, we were in better position and that was the difference.”
