Glacier 56, Hellgate 18
MISSOULA — Glacier recorded five pins, won twice by major decisions and via forfeits and once by disqualification to pin a Western AA conference dual loss on Missoula Hellgate.
Posting pins for Glacier were Dylan Miller (103), Tristan Little (120), Caden Willis (132), Andrew Glynn (152) and Trey Krause (285).
Major decision winners were Lance Fretwell (126) and Barak Baines (145).
“Tonight was a good effort by everyone, up and down the lineup,” Glacier coach Ross Dankers said. “We had three of the young guys who wrestled really well in Lance Fretwell, Barak Baines and Cole McCollam. Unfortunately Cole had to injury default, but was wrestling a really good match leading up to that point. All three of those young guys had a good couple practices leading up to the dual, which I think showed in tonight’s matches.”
