Curtis Winona went 2-1 in the 170-lb. division.
In the 160-lb. class, Walker Flynn pinned both of his opponents, Hamilton and Chilson, both from Reardan High School. "Walker had a great start to his high school career with two pins," Slaybaugh said.
Curtis Winona went 2-1 in the 170-lb. division. He topped Cash of Davenport with an 8-3 decision in the first round, was edged by Anderson of Reardan 4-7 in the second round and pinned Paul of Liberty-Spangle in the third go-round. "Curtis came back this year and started right where he left off," Slaybaugh said.
"Braedyn White had one of the toughest matches of the night against a familiar opponent and although it didn't go how we would have like, he wrestled well," Slaybaugh said. Noah of Colfax notched an 11-4 win by decision over White, but he bounced back to pin Robertson of Liberty in his second round in the 182-lb. classification.
