Flathead pins Bruins, Bengals
HELENA — Top-ranked Flathead wrapped up regular-seaon action Saturday evening by downing fourth-ranked Helena High 36-23 and fifth-ranked Helena Capital 35-28 in Western AA dual wrestling.
“It was two battles,” Flathead coach Jeff Thompson said. The wins pushed Flathead’s dual record to 19-2.
In the Capital thriller, Flathead held a tight 29-28 advantage heading into the final match — Bryce Schaffer at 113 pounds.
“Told him (Schaffer) to go out and wrestle relaxed,” Thompson said. “Look for your spots. He got one right away.”
A single-leg takedown led to a pin in 1:21 for Schaffer.
Glacier was also on the mats, losing to Capital 59-9 and Helena High 60-9.
