Columbia Falls, without four starters, drops dual 49-28

COLUMBIA FALLS - It was a coaching nightmare for Columbia Falls' Wes Knutson.

Out of Tuesday's lineup for a dual outing with Polson were four key starters.

A case of the flu had one varsity performer watching while a auto accident claimed another.

Knee surgery and sore ribs had two more out of action.

As a result, Polson emerged with a 49-28 dual victory.

"One thing I was proud of tonight was all our freshmen battled," said Knutson.

"We had six in the lineup."

One - Jesse Woodward - wrestling at 189 posted a victory.

He pinned A.J. Angelo in 4:33.

Beau Hader, filling in for one of the missing starters, posted a pin at 125.

Aric Tarr, 119, won by decision 8-2; Dalvin Averill, 135, won by decision 12-4; Ryan Buck, 145, won by decision 8-1; and Tommy Church, heavyweight, won by a fall in 3:43.

Columbia Falls wrestles next at Whitefish Thursday, then travels to Cut Bank Friday.
