LARP wrestling had about as back-and-forth a match a squad can have versus GMLOS.  The lead changed hands 11 times, or at every weight from 132 thru 285.  An S-Eagle forfeit 285 gave the Bulldogs the match, 38-36.  LARP beat FCLMC 45-21 at the same triangular.  Carter Jonsgaard and Dominic Jenkins wrestled out two wins.  Jonsgaard (#5 at 120), Ross Herber (#6 at 113), and Noah Herber (#3 at 182) remain state ranked.  Chatfield’s Nathan Goldsmith (152 > 12-1 MD, 4-2 D, 3-1 D) wrestled out three wins at the Farmington Duals. Cael Bartels (113) also went 3-0 (two FFs, 11-3 MD).  Gophers Seth Goetzinger (#4 at 126) and Davontae Goldsmith (#9 at 182) remain state ranked.   FCLMC’s Bradon Knutson won the 113-pound weight class (two pins, 4-0 decision) at the Crestwood Tourney.  Dylan Loppnow tied a huge career-high game (23 pts, 14 rebs, 6 stls, 4 blks) as M-C’s boys beat G-E 73-63.  The 6’5” senior is averaging 16.2 (pts) and 11.6 (rebs).  Drew Wyffels had 22 points in an M-C 46-42 win over Schaeffer.  The Cougars moved to even on the year (2-2, 5-5).  Abbey Hoegh had 21 points to lead R-P’s girls past W-K 68-62.  It was the Trojans’ first TRC win since the 2016-2017 season.  Lanesboro’s girls came back from down at the half (29-25) to beat Schaeffer (58-45) for win #1.  Three Burros had season-highs.
