McCOOK, Neb. — Coach Nick Umscheid’s point was proven quite often against the Cozad Haymakers Thursday evening:

“Getting a pin here or not giving up a pin or a point there can decide a dual,” he said following his McCook Bison’s 35-34 loss to visiting Cozad.

The Haymakers brought their usual strong team into MHS but they also forfeited three weights which helped give McCook a stronger fighting chance.
