The unabbreviated way to say it was, Chatfield and Lewiston-Altura/Rushford-Peterson’s wrestling teams each trekked to Caledonia for a triangular with Cal/Houston. The three-way begged and delivered good mat competition. The Gophers and Screamin’ Eagles went first. It was back-and-forth up thru 152. LARP led after 106 (Tyler Kreidermacher 16-6 MD), 120 (Ross Herber pin), 132 (Gable Speltz 7-5 D), and 145 (Dominic Jenkins pin). Chatfield led after 113 (Cael Bartels forfeit), 126 (Seth Goetzinger pinned Carter Jonsgaard, a ranked/ranked match), 138 (Cody Guenther 12-5 D), 152 (Nathan Goldsmith pin), and 160 (Jacob Stephas pin). The last five matches were then all forfeits. Chatfield took 170 (Davontae Goldsmith). LARP took 182 (Noah Herber) and 195 (Carter Weidemann) to pull to down 33-31. The Gophers grabbed 220 (A.J. Karver) and 285 (Erik Seha) for the 45-31 win. Caledonia/Houston then took on Chatfield. The dual had 11 pins. The first seven weights went that way (six in the first period). The Gophers won the early pin-clinic 4-2, as Bartels (113), Goetzinger (126), Tate Karver (132), and Guenther (138) did so to give Chatfield a 24-12 lead. Cal/Hou pulled to down 24-21 after 152. Campbell Berge’s late pin (0:13 in the third) at 160 gave Chatfield a 30-21 lead. Back-to-back Warriors wins (pin, 4-2 D) tied the match at 30-30. But Grady Schott (195) and A.J. Karver (220) sealed the match with pins. Chatfield forfeited 285 to win 42-36. Cal/Hou and LARP then got all competitive. The Screamin’ Eagles spotted the Warriors a 12-0 lead, only to win four straight by pin; R. Herber (120), C. Jonsgaard (126), G. Speltz (132), Caleb Mueller (132). LARP led 24-12 and would lead 27-18 after the D. Jenkins’ tough decision win (3-2) at 152. Two Warrior pins (160, 170) put LARP down 30-27. Noah Herber (182) then won a second tough decision (10-8 in SV-1) to tie the match 30-30. Weidemann scored a pin (195) to put LARP up 36-30. However, the S-Eagles forfeited the final two weights to fall 42-36. Like the Chatfield dual, it was pin-heavy, with ten such finishes. LARP is 3-3, 6-6.
