Zinke gets heavyweight win at Eureka
Wolf Zinke took home first place in the
heavyweight division at the annual Buzz Lucey Memorial Tournament
on Saturday in Eureka. His effort helped the Bulldogs earn 69 total
points in the 10-team tournament.
Zinke pinned Ben Gorham of Plains at
the 3:17 mark.
125-pounder Wyatt Price had a strong
tournament and finished in second place. James Bailey took fourth
in the 130-pound category.
Only 12 wrestlers made the trip to
Eureka due to injuries. Whitefish coach Ryan Boyle said the team
would have likely scored more points with a full roster. He noted
the team’s improved performance the week prior at Hamilton.
“The last two weekends were really good
for us,” Boyle said. “We have everything we need as far as skills
to win. We just need to polish some things up.”
Everybody on the team has earned at
least one win this season.
“Everybody looks really close to
breaking through,” Boyle said.
Whitefish wrestles at Libby on Dec. 22
at 6:30 p.m.
“I think we have some guys that could
get us some wins at Libby,” Boyle said.
