But on Wednesday, the Bronchos prob- ably eased Pluta’s mind a bit. The Holly Bronchos convincingly de- feated Lapeer West 63-13 and Clio 69-8 en route to a Metro League sweep at Holly High School. “We wrestled well,” Pluta said. “I was surprised by the score. I expected a tighter match, especially with Lapeer West. They did have two guys out. The thing I am most happy about is no one was pinned last night. That was huge.” The Bronchos also keep adding wrestlers to enhance their depth. Last week, football
