Last week Thursday, Nicollet wrestled in the Section 4A team Tourney and with 5 open weight classes we wrestled as well as we could. In the first round we were able to pull off the win 42-27 with several early pins, including Dalton at 138 for this match, over St. Agnes (somewhere in south suburbs of Mpls). In the 2nd round we matched up with St. James, 2nd ranked in the section and 10th ranked in the state. We lost 65-6, with Dalton picking up 1 win and our senior 170lb'er getting the other. Needless to say it was a learning experience for our young team to see how the great teams wrestle. On Friday we head back to St. James for the section individual tourney and for most the last weekend of wrestling for this high school season. Top 2 in each weight class advance to the Xcel energy center for the state tourney. Dalton will enter Fridays tourney ranked 4th in section 4 and the 3 in front of him are also ranked 1,2,3 in the state at 132, so it will be a good learning experience for him as well this weekend. Wrestling is a crazy sport and if one of the big guns over looks him or he can catch them in a quick hold there is always a chance.
