Coach Nathan Smith commented, "We moved some kids around trying to win the dual and it played out like the coaches thought. We were ahead by 2 going into the 220lb match. We gave ourselves a chance to beat the #2 team in the state we just couldn't capitalize. For the most part I think our kids competed well against a more experienced line-up."

The evening was also Senior Night. Seniors Paul Nelson and Caitlin Northrup (manager) and their parents were recognized before the wrestling began.
