The Pelican Rapids High School Viking matmen traveled to Barrett to wrestling in the 34th Grant County tournament.
Even though they took only six wrestlers, fifty percent of them placed.
The big reason was that in the tournament it is hard get good matches for the younger wrestlers so the coaches felt it would be better to send them to the Grant Co Jr High tournament on Friday Night.
It was a good decision as each wrestler that went on Friday night got at least one win, reported Coach Harold Holt.
Of the teams there, WCA is ranked 8th in class A and United is listed as “lean and mean in class AA.” Carson Haugrud’s only loss of the day was to a wrestler who earned his 100th win over Carson.
Tri-Captain Haugrud is now 7-2 for the season with seven pins.
This will be a busy weekend for the Viking wrestling community as they will be hosting the annual Early Bird Wrestling tournament here on Saturday, December 17.
Wrestling will start at 10:00 a.m. and continue through the afternoon.
A new addition this year is that it will be sponsored by the local Jaycees Club and the school has added a 7-8 grade tournament.
There are expectations of 250-300 wrestlers competing.
Viking Injury report: Casey Kulsrud’s shoulder is getting better but will not return to the mat before December 16. Matt Hanson suffered a sprained thumb on Saturday and may see limited match time this week.
