Western Dubuque Duals

Today our wrestling plans were cut short due to weather problems. The teams that were suppose to be competing with us were Williamsburg, North Scott, Vinton-Shellsburg, Western Dubuque, Newton, Oregon (Illinios), and Maquoketa Valley. Vinton and North Scott couldn't make it to Epworth and Maq Valley and Oregon had to leave early because roads were getting bad. Because the weather started early in the morning W. Dubuque planned on runing three rounds and checking the weather. With only 6 teams the tournament was run as a round robin dual. First round we had Williamsburg, second round- Western Dubuque, and third round- Newton. The results are as follows:

vs. Williamsburg
37-34 (W)

vs. Western Dubuque
36-31 (L)

vs. Newton
60-21 (W)

Because of all the teams leaving or not making it all and finally wrestling it all out the teams had to go under certain criterias to see who really one and the Pirates came out on top and got the gold

The JV also had their own little tournament in a different gym here is their results

103 (Josh Walker)- 1st Place
112 (Zach Lawrence)- 1st Place
119 (Dylan Miller)- 1st Place
135 (Forrest Olinger)- 1st Place
160 (Drew Renberg)- 3rd Place
285 (Zach Olinger)- 2nd Place

This week the boys will have an away TriMeet at Cascade facing off with Cascade and Ed-Co, and next Saturday they will head to the Lisbon tournament.

Wrestling Senior Night

I was kind of a slow night with lots of forfeits for the Pirates, the CC/Springville Wildcats only had five wrestlers and the North Linn Lynx didn't have a full line up either. The Pirates won to both teams making for a some what good senior night. The Pirates will head to Epworth Saturday for the Western Dubuque Duals.

Good Luck and Good Job
