That provided an opportunity for newcomer Logan Swaffar, who was listed as an extra on the roster, to compete in his first varsity match. 

The freshman faced off against junior Robert Atkinson in the 132-pound bout and earned a pin in 3 minutes as his win highlighted a 45-34 team victory for Blue Springs at Van Horn High School.
