The wrestling team traveled to Ft. Pierre this weekend to compete in the Big Dakota Wrestling Tourney. This is always one of our tougher tournaments of the year and gives us an opportunity to see some east river kids that we don’t usually get to wrestle. The weather kept four teams home but there was still some great competition that made for some really exciting matches.
Teams competing (in order of finish): Winner (W) 226, Groton (Gr) 185, Stanley County (SC) 176, Gettysburg (G) 139, Miller/Highmore (MH) 131.5, Bennett County (BC) 131, Mobridge (M) 111, Todd County (TC) 61, Pine Ridge (PR) 59, Cheyenne Eagle Butte (CEB) 57, Red Cloud 33, Little Wound (LW) 14.
With our district tournament next weekend, this was our last opportunity to see just how much improvement we have made this year and also see where we still might have some areas that need work. Overall this was one of our better tournaments and had we been at full strength we would have certainly been in the top 4 as a team (we have really been battling illness and injury the past 4 weeks). Dalton McCollam was voted the Outstanding Wrestler of the tournament.
