Bigfork high school wrestling is racking up the matches and growing with experience.

The team attended three tournaments last week and now collectively has over 100 matches under their belts. The skills picked up from wrestling so many matches showed last week as the wrestlers continued to win more matches and stay in others longer.

Dalton Western placed third at 170 pounds on Saturday at the Buzz Lucey Invitational in Eureka.

“He had to take two of them to win third, he worked hard,” head coach Josh Feller said.

Western won two matches with pins, one in 2:22 and the other in 1:02.

Daniel Edwards (152), Keaton O’Connor (126) and Castor Conley (113) were all one match away from placing.

Friday night the boys wrestled at the Eureka Mixer where Conley won two matches, and O’Connor, Tate Chenard (145), Edwards and Triston Foster (160) each won one.

Thursday the team travelled to Drummond for the Flint Creet Quad, and while just Conley, Noah Van Queckleberg (160) and Western walked away with wins, Feller said the meet was very good for them.

“Thursday night they wrestled probably the best they had this season,” he said. “They’re getting better every week, and just learning and growing. Getting that live experience is paying off for these guys.

The wrestlers will travel to Ronan Jan. 1-2.
