Host of Valley wrestlers in semis at Jug Beck
MISSOULA — Five Flathead wrestlers, three Glacier wrestlers and one Whitefish wrestler are headed to today’s semifinal action at the Jug Beck Rocky Mountain Classic at Sentinel High School.
In the semis for Flathead are Cade Troupe at 126 pounds, Fin Nadeau (154), Noah Poe-Hatten (152), Tanner Russell (170), and Paxton Boyce (182).
“Not a bad first day at the Rocky for the Flathead Braves,” Flathead coach Jeff Thompson said. ‘The young Brave Brawlers are really raising the bar each and every week. There is a lot of wrestling left but we put ourselves in a good position to be in the hunt.”
In the semis for Glacier are Josh Melton (103), Teegan Vasquez (113) and Camryn Vergeront (285).
“I thought our kids came out with a great approach and mentality today,” Glacier coach Ross Dankers said. “Each match the guys are getting closer to their long term goals. Josh especially was impressive making the semis by beating the Capital kid [Hunter Rahn] that got him earlier this year.”
Whitefish’s Dakota Flannery made semifinals at 138 pounds.
In team scores, Flathead is second to Great Falls High School by 2.5 points.
Glacier is ninth, Polson 17th and Columbia Falls is 20th.
The final day of action begins at 9 a.m. at Sentinel High School in Missoula.
