Comments on the Tracy Quad with Luverne, Redwood Valley, and Fulda/MCC
Comments from the Lunverne dual. "Luverne is a struggling program with low numbers of kids. Our team took advantage of that. Austin Peterson, Brad Schmidt, Eddie Anderson, and Linch Her each got their first varsity wins. Mike Anderson got his first varsity win of the season." stated Coach Campbell.
Redwood dual. "I felt the kids wrestled hard for the most part. Jared Towne got behind early but came back to get a pin. Aaron Hohler almost scored a fall against one of their better kids in the lower weights but fell short in a 10-6 decision. Noah VanNevel got a pin for his tenth win of the season."
Fulda/MCC dual. "We started strong in the lower weights, but did not have enough depth and experience in the middle to upper weights to stay with one of the better teams in our area. Ian Mariner, Zach Campbell, and Erik Cooreman all went 3-0 on the day. Luke Prairie and Tyler Bauer were each 2-0. Noah VanNevel was 2-1 on the evening."
Our elementary kids has an opportunity to showcase their skills against some of fulda/mcc kids tonight also which is great for our program. Thanks to Mike Coyle and John Carlson, our youth coaches, for organizing this.

Panthers Defeat Marshall
More Pictures
The Panthers kept up their winning ways by defeating the Marshall Tigers on Thursday night. The dual started off with a big win at 103 by Joe Ruppert and then ended with Tyler Baur winning by forfeit. The Panthers (6-7) have been winning with a very young line up featuring a 7th grader, an 8th grader, several freshman and a handful of upper class men. There were several key matches this evening. Ian Mariner continued to contribute with a win at 125 lbs. Leng Thao weighed in at slightly over 125 and wrestled 135lbs, and put on a take down clinic in route to a win. Noah VanNevel continues to improve, and pulled out an overtime victory which was a key win in the dual. The Tigers forfeited to Colton Evans and slid their 171 lb wrestler up to 189 to face Matt Wakefield. Matt made them pay by winning that match which sealed the win for TMB. Joe Ruppert improved his varsity record to 4-3 with a win at 103lbs. Zach Campbell improved to 13-0 with a decision at 119. TMB lost the pre match flip, so Marshall moved Sam Ogelsby who had weighed in at 140 moved up to 145 to face Aaron Hohler instead of Luke Prairie. Luke recorded a fall at 140 to improve to 13-0. Andrew Martinez wrestled extremely well at 215 especially from the neutral position, but made a mistake and was pinned in the third period. Colton Evans and Tyler Bauer each received forfeits to improve to 10-3 on the season. The next action for the panthers will be in Montevideo on December 29th for an individual tournament.
