Pa. Boys: First varsity pins for Eagles' trio

Three George Washington wrestlers earned what coach Mike McKinney hopes are the first of many varsity wins yesterday, and all three did it with pins.

Roman Nikibursky, Rogers Baker and Sergy Neroda picked up their first varsity victories to help the Eagles beat host Kensington, 57-15, in a Public League encounter.

Nikibursky decked his opponent at 103 pounds in 1 minute, 27 seconds. Baker (140) pinned in 1:59, and Neroda (285) downed his opponent in 1:11. Nariman Lomidze (215) earned the quickest pin in 24 seconds.
