Great tournament to end the year guys!! I think we wrestled our very best at the perfect time to do so. The guys competed really hard and left it all out on the mat. I know some guys didnt get the results you were looking for but now you know where you stand and what you need to work on going forward. I am very pleased with how our team ended the season on all levels. We took 3rd as a team in the 7/8th division! Which is very good with only having a certain amount of “scorers” at the tournament.

Maddox had two majors and two tech falls en route to taking 1st place. In the finals he techfall’d the current #2 ranked wrestler in class B. Congrats Maddox!

Results from last night. Coach Steinwand and I thought we saw a lot of grit and toughness from our guys last night. Regardless of outcome, we were dang proud of the boys. The wrestlers know that W’s and L’s mean nothing to us, so we hope you parents/guardians understand that as well. Our main goal is to get better at wrestling, have fun and give 100% effort. We have some things to work on, but team culture has been at an all time high this year. Our Dude of the Dual was Owen Bahm (sophomore) with his inside cradle pin over Preston Benz (Senior). Owen, thank you for giving our team the spark that we needed.
