November 8, 2007 (Chanute, KS)- 

The 12th ranked Neosho Panther Wrestling team pushed the 4th ranked 
Labette County to the limit here on the campus of NCCC, with the 
visiting Cardinals using a decision of 3-2 in the final bout of the 
evening to clinch the dual 22-15. Neosho came out of the gates strong 
with Donte Butler 5 takedowns before cranking his opponent over to his 
back for the fall early in the 2nd stanza. Not to be outdone Jarod 
Spoon making his debut in a Panthers uniform this year edged out his 
opponent for a 4-2 victory. Labette marched back though scoring 4 
victories in a row including a fall at 165 which put them up 13-9 at 
that point. Jason Green and Tim Cross fought back with decision 
victories at 174 and 184 a piece to narrow the gap to 15-16. Daunte 
Nixon at 197 lost a 5-2 decision to the 6th ranked junior college 
wrestler in the nation giving teammate Christian Wintons a chance to 
clinch the dual at heavyweight. However 9th ranked Wintons lost by a 
slim 3-2 margin to the 8th ranked foe, and thus the night ended with 
Labette edging Neosho down the stretch in front of a packed NCCC 
Panther Pavilion that saw a full house come out for a great night of 
wrestling.
