Aberdeen (14-1) piled up a 19-0 lead in the first four matches and went on to a 38-23 conquest of visiting North Harford in a matchup marred by a back injury to North Harford's Mike Liptrap.
Wrestling Corey Pascuzzi, Liptrap was leading 9-7 in the third period, when, making a move and turning into Pascuzzi, he suddenly was in an inverted C position.
The match was stopped immediately, although later Pascuzzi said he let go as quickly as possible.
The meet was delayed while medical personnel took precautions by immobilizing Liptrap's head and strapping him down, and he was taken from the gym on a stretcher.
He was conscious at the time, admitted to having feeling, and a preliminary diagnosis seemed to indicate a severe strain across the middle of his back.
This was the first of three weight classes where Aberdeen coach Dick Slutzky dropped an entry one class, setting up the pairing of regular 119-pounder Liptrap and Pascuzzi, who had been at 125 all season.
Ironically, it turned out to be the difference in the match ahead of the final bout.
A Liptrap decision or pin would have made the score either 29-26 or 29-29 going to the heavyweights.
As it was, Pascuzzi's forfeit win was followed by a Fred Merritt pin of Jason Owings at 125, and Aberdeen was ahead 19-0. North Harford got the next one, though, when Glenn Folck pinned Wayne Cook with 25 seconds left.
"It's a game of matchups," Slutzky said.
"Get the right people on the right people. We knew we had to beat one of their good kids and we did. We've been wrestling 'light' right along, so it was no problem to drop a weight, and nobody else but [Pascuzzi] could beat him [Liptrap]."
For the Hawks (9-4), coach Fred Holtz said he had a couple of wrestlers he expected to be better.
"But that's the way it goes sometimes," Holtz said. "Sometimes [athletes] they respond and sometimes they don't."
After Folck's pin and a technical fall by Zach Rose at 135, the host team won everything else but the two it figured to lose -- 171 with unbeaten Paul Konschak (20-0) and 189 with Tom Staab (19-2).
Among the Aberdeen winners were Kit Doran (22-0) at 160; Jim Axel (21-1) at 112; Eric Morgan at heavyweight (19-4) and DeWayne Whitley (18-4) at 152.
