Braves put 18 matmen in semis

The Daily Inter Lake

BUTTE - Short, sweet and relaxed, but with a slight hiccup.

The Flathead wrestling team has 28 wrestlers still alive after the first three rounds of the Western AA seeding tournament at Butte.

Of those, 18 are in the semifinals - but 10 others must win today to make it to next weekend's all-class state tournament in Billings

Those are good numbers - and Flathead coach Jeff Thompson was pleased with much of what he saw Friday.

But the Braves will fall short of their goal of sending every wrestler to state - and they will also be short of last year's school record when they took 29 wrestlers.

"We wrestled a little flat today. We really have to step it up (today) and wrestle a little more aggressive," Thompson said. "Saturday is a big day."

But there was plenty of good news.

Flathead has two wrestlers in the semifinals in four weight classes - 98, 112, 135 and heavyweight.

And they are all in opposite brackets from one another.

"So we still have an opportunity to get two guys in the finals (in each of those weight classes)," the coach said.

Thompson was happy with the effort of freshman Caleb Allen-Schmid at 140 pounds.

He beat the No. 3 seed at the tournament - Craig Remsen of Helena Capital, 7-3.

"He is going to state," Thompson said of Allen-Schmid.

He also complimented heavyweight Tyler Thomas, who pinned the No. 4 seed, Joe Tobel of Missoula Hellgate, in 1:01. And at 112, freshman Joaquin Calderon pinned the No. 4 seed, Jarrod Maddio of Helena High, in 2:54.
