The Big Horn Basin Middle School Wrestling Conference was hosted by Thermopolis on Saturday, Dec. 7 at the Thermopolis High School.
Nine teams participated including: Powell, Worland, Riverton, Cody. Lander, Lovell, Greybull, Rocky Mountain, and Thermopolis.
“I cannot express how proud I am of how our athletes wrestled this past weekend. They really stepped it up, went on the attack, and left it all on the mat. This group of individuals really came together as a team, worked hard in practice, and demonstrated what they learned on the mat,” said coach Toby Emery.
Sixteen wrestlers placed in the top four. Overall, two were crowned champions; Dalton Price at 105 lbs. in the “A” division and Jessen Basse at 105 lbs. in the “B” division.
Five wrestlers placed second. They include: Brody Potter (120 A), Ethan Music (138 A), Ethan Yarrington (105 B), Bridger Peil (115 B), and Cody Bomengen (120 B).
Wrestlers placing third include: Seth Needham (105 A), Ethan Crow (110 A), Chris Arends (126 A), Brody Sorensen (132 A), Mason Reese (145 A), Alix Sorensen (110 B), and Kailey Allen (138 B). Colter Price (98 A) and Blevins Little (138 B) placed fourth for the Bobcats.
As a team, TMS wrestlers placed 6th out of nine schools.
“We competed very well at the weights we filled, but having five open weights on our roster didn’t help us when trying to compete for a team title,” said Emery
“I want to thank Coach Farrell, Coach McDermott, and Coach Ottley for their dedication and assistance this season,” said Emery
Emery added “Our wrestling program is growing and getting stronger each year. In addition, thank you parents and Bobcat fans for your support throughout the season!
