Braves 5th at CMR wrestling tournament
GREAT FALLS — Flathead finished fifth overall at the 38th annual CMR Holiday Classic wrestling tournament, which ended Saturday afternoon.
The Braves finished with a 130 point total. Colstrip, 196.5, finished first with Missoula Big Sky, 174, second.
Glacier, 63, was 18th.
Columbia Falls and Ronan tied for 23rd with 49 points each.
Columbia Falls had one wrestler advance to the championship round. Kaleb Gravelin (138) lost to Tate Niederegger of Chinook in overtime, 7-4.
Flathead had five placers — Hunter Rush (103) and Payton Hume (145) were both third; Tucker Nadeau (160) and Payton Boyce (205) were fourth; and Logan Wilson (182) was fifth. Hume and Boyce both lost in the semifinals.
The Braves were without defending state champ Trae Vasquez (120) and Cody DeVall (113) because of illness. Anthony Wright (170) is injured.
Glacier’s semifinalist, Caden Willis (103), finished sixth. He was the team’s lone placer.
“We brought seven kids and everyone made a nice little step forward after a nice week of practice,” Glacier coach Ross Dankers said.
“We are starting to see some little break throughs now. That’s good.”
