Bravettes roll to win at Flathead Girls Invite

Flathead scored 240.5 points, just ahead of Billings Senior with 231.5. Glacier was next at 205 points.
Lucille Libby (235 pounds) was Flathead’s only individual winner, but the Bravettes got points from second place finishers Skye Shelmerdine (120), Casiann Clemons (126) and Adi Siegel’s third place finish at 114. Mykel Lee (107) was fourth, as was Kenlie Roth (120) and Isabelle Brewer (145).

Also for Glacier, Katelyn Sphuler (100), Temree Payne-Taylor (120) and Madisyn Frazier (152) finished third.
“I just want to give a shout out to our new wrestlers like (Katelyn) Sphuler, (Calista) Wroble and (Jessa) Morris, for turning up for the team and competing and getting points for us,” Glacier assistant Mitchell Zander said. “They ended up pushing us over the top for team placing. The girls worked hard in practice and it paid off this weekend.”
Ronan’s Saella Nomee won at 100 pounds, as did teammate Brynn Courville at 132 to help Ronan to a sixth place team finish.
