Wrestlers winding down towards Regions

Body

By Coach Brent Ireland The BCHS wrestling team traveled to Presho on Friday for a series of duals. The boys went 2-1 with wins against Lyman (48-18) and Marion/ Freeman (33-27), but we gave up too many forfeits against Groton Area and lost 36-41 (we actually won 4 of the 6 matches wrestled!). The girls went 2-0 beating Doland 18-12 and Groton Area 24-4. Those results suggest if we had a few less open weight classes both programs we would be pretty tough to beat!

On Saturday both teams competed in the Big Dakota Conference Tournament in Ft. Pierre. Even though we were missing two starters, the boys placed 6th out of 20 teams. The girls placed 8th out of 19 teams.

Place winners were Ruger Smokov 6th (106), Maddux Risse 2nd (113), Lyle Noel 4th (126), Gavin Risse 4th (138), Tel Gropper 4th (144), Jordan Risse 4th (150), Talon Krolikowski 5th (157), Sadie Schomp 5th (100), Paesyn Wilson 4th (107), Harmony Siers 6th (126), and Moraes May 3rd (152).
