Boys take 9th at East-West

The traditional end to the wrestling individual tournament regular season came and went at the East-West Tournament in New Salem January 26-27.

The event brings the best Class B male wrestlers from the two longitudinal directions under the Holsteins' "barn", for one last head-to-head chance before overall seeding is determined.

At East-West, the Cards came in ninth with 98 points, and had two runner-up wrestlers in Dru Carr (114) and Corbin Clifton (145).

Three other CHS grapplers came in fourth, those being 107-pounder Skye Kramlich, Callen Garber (189) and Brody Weisenburger (285).

Making it to the placement rounds were eighth-place finishers Max Ciubotareanu (172) and Kirby Freeman (215).

The event marked the first time that Coach Josh Kerbaugh's team filled their weight classes with what is expected to be the final varsity lineup.

This past Saturday, the Cards competed in the Region 2 Dual Tournament in Larimore. Carrington got the number two seed at the tournament behind top seed Northern Lights. The best two teams will advance to the State Class B Dual Wrestling Tournament at the Fargodome Saturday, February 17.

This Saturday, Carrington will play host to the East Region Boys' Individual Tournament. The top eight wrestlers will earn automatic qualification to state, also at the Fargodome, February 15-16.
