The Vikings wrestling team opened the season in Florence over the weekend as they took on Anaconda and Whitehall in a pair of duals.

Freshman Angus Anderson picked up a pair of victories by fall in the 126-pound weight class and junior Dale Relyea did the same in the 182-pound class as Bigfork earned a 56-14 victory over Anaconda before falling to Whitehall 43-30.

To get a dual meet win and be competitive against a really good team in Whitehall was a great way to start the season,” head coach Shawn Hall said. “For the first time in several years, we finally have enough kids to make a dual format really worthwhile for us, so it was pretty exciting. The kids were excited about it, too. They haven’t had that kind of opportunity in a while.”

All eight Bigfork wins in the two duals came via fall as Vaughn Pendlay, Archie Brevivk, Traic Fainter and Eli Tidwell also pinned one opponent each.

The Vikings will be back in Florence Friday as they take on Florence and Townsend.
