Braves notch 3 wins at Mining City Duals
The Daily Inter Lake
BUTTE - Perhaps this will be the year.
Flathead, which has never won the Mining City Duals in Butte, is off to a dominating start at this year's event.
The Braves, runners-up a year ago, defeated Anaconda, 73-12, Colstrip, 57-25, and Bozeman, 65-15, during opening-day action on Friday.
Flathead, now 4-0 on the year, is back in action today.
"We only lost six or seven matches (all day)," said Flathead coach Jeff Thompson.
"Basically, we've made huge improvements from last week. This team is very physical. We just outhustled the teams we wrestled today."
Flathead finished fourth at the duals in 2004 and second in 2003.
"We've been in the hunt, we just have never won the thing," said Thompson.
"We'd like to bring home a championship trophy. Overall, we're focusing on the challenges tomorrow."
Thompson said C.M. Russell, Great Falls High, Havre and Butte will be the main contenders.
Thompson added that Flathead's Brian Hamm (119 pounds) pinned Dustin Hanson, a state runner-up, from Anaconda in 3:36. Dan Jenkins (105) dropped down a weight class for this competition and has performed well for the Braves.
FHS heavyweight Cory Simonson remains undefeated.
Northwest Montana is well represented at the event with Columbia Falls, Whitefish and Polson also in attendance.
Columbia Falls blasted Missoula Hellgate, 57-18, but fell to Sidney, 47-15, and Billings Senior, 56-19.
Polson is also 1-2, whipping Choteau, 50-6, while losing to Helena Capital, 39-37, and Billings Skyview, 60-18.
Whitefish is 0-3 in duals, falling to Dillon, 39-30, Great Falls High, 59-21, and Conrad, 60-10.
