3A Wrestling: Berthoud pins at the end

Berthoud senior Cory Ellis (182 pounds) and sophomore Kagen Hennig closed the first round in style for the Spartans with a pair of pins. Ellis stuck Justin Briskey of Bayfield in 1:30, while Hennig was quicker, needing just 1:18 to stop Jonathan Flores of Jefferson.
The duo comes back for Friday’s quarterfinal round at 10 a.m., while the three Spartans who lost earlier will follow immediately after with the first round of consolation.
