Grizzly Wrestlers Go To Tiger/Grizz

Last week the Grace Grizzlies hosted a dual with Rich County during the week then competed at the Tiger/Grizz Tournament.

In the dual the Grizzlies lost the team scoring 42-30 due in large part to the amount of forfeits Grace had to give up due to low numbers.  That being said in contested matches the Grizzlies fared well.  Two of the top wrestlers for Grace Carter Kimball and Jack Eddins benefitted from earning forfeits.  Mack Jorgensen and Christian Barrera each suffered losses by fall while Cael Newby, Dylan Wood, and Brett Hobbs all won by fall.  A couple of Grizzly wrestlers also competed in some extra matches.  Jack Eddins and Mack Jorgensen each picked up wins by fall while Christian Barrera lost his extra match by fall.

The Lady Grizzlies were also in action at the dual and like the boys they lost the team scoring due to lack of numbers.  The team scoring was very close at 30-29.  Bella Eddins and Skyla Cloud earned victories by forfeit while Giulia Succetti was the only Lady Grizzly to lose a contested match.  Josie Newby and Holland Ball won their matches by fall while Hayden Ball earned a victory by tech fall.  Skyla Cloud and Hayden Ball also picked up wins in extra matches while Giulia Succetti suffered another loss in her extra match.

The midweek dual was just a warm up for the Grizzlies next big tournament.  The Tiger/Grizz has been one of the states premier tournaments for years and is very competitive with some of the top talent around.  Much like the Rollie Lane, any placement is an impressive feat.  Several of the Grizzlies were able to pick up wins with a few even grabbing some placings.
