By Coach Brent Ireland This past weekend was a busy one for the BCHS wrestling team. First, on Friday the girls traveled to Pierre for a big tournament. There were 30 schools represented! As wrestling is a relatively new high school sport for the girls, most programs are a bit similar to ours where they aren’t fielding full teams just yet. However, there is only ONE class for girls wrestling so you can imagine that the large schools tend to dominate from a team standpoint. Overall we didn’t have any place winners but continue to see improvements from one week to the next with all five girls.
Then on Saturday, the boys traveled to Parkston. We ended up 11th out of 17 teams but only one of those teams above us had fewer participants. Had we been at full strength team wise, we would have easily been in the top half of a field that included 7 perennial powerhouse wrestling teams in SD and a tough team from both Iowa and Minnesota. Ethan Harris placed 3rd, followed by Maddux Risse and Gavin Risse at 4th. Tel Gropper and Jordan Risse both placed 5th with Talon Krolikowski and Neil Hicks both coming in at 6th.
