Barbs bounce back from loss
DeKalb and Yorkville closed Thursday's Northern Illinois Big 12 East dual tied, 27-27. The Foxes won on a tiebreaker as they had won more matches.

Strategic placement of wrestlers helped determine the outcome. When DeKalb senior Doug Johnson moved up a weight class to challenge for a win at 138, the Foxes forfeited and followed up with a tight win at 145.

The young Barbs' lineup bounced back sweeping a quad with Maine West, Antioch and Rolling Meadows on Saturday to enter Thursday's rivalry dual with Sycamore on a high note.
