When a Chelsea High School wrestler is on the way to securing a fall, a chant of "pin-pin-pin" is bellowed by their Bulldog teammates.

That chant echoed frequently during the Southeastern Conference quad Thursday at Huron High School. Chelsea racked up 19 total pins in its two dual wins over Pioneer (63-18) and Lincoln (69-12).

Rounding out the dual matches, Pioneer topped Huron (70-6) and Lincoln dropped Huron (66-4). The Pioneers' win over the River Rats was their first SEC victory.

"I thought our kids came out fired up tonight," said Chelsea coach Kerry Kargel. "If we can start out with wins, it's key." (Rest of the Story & Photo Gallery | Chelsea-Pioneer results | Chelsea-Lincoln results | Pioneer-Huron results | Lincoln-Huron results)
