Blue Dragons finish in 3rd at Jesse James Invitational with 125 points

The Blue Dragons hosted their final home event of the season with the Jesse James Invitational. The host team finished in third place with 125 points. Tri-Valley won the tournament with 187.5 points followed by Canton with 168. The other teams finished in order of Fulda/Murray County Central (103), Dell Rapids (102), Flandreau (99), and Luverne (31). We were able to wrestle some unattached wrestlers in the tournament which allowed our younger kids to get some varsity experience. Our team looked good Saturday competing in the tournament. We are eliminating most mistakes and battling in every match. We had 10 wrestlers place in the top 4 with Thomas Howe and Brady Bonte winning titles. During the final 4 weeks of the regular season, we need to continue working on putting together complete matches: mentally, physically, and emotionally. When we put these together, the team will compete hard with some top results at the end of the season. The individual results from the tournament are below.
