The Royals finished strong from 145 pounds on up to upset the 10th ranked Stillwater Ponies Thursday night, 40-33.  For a while, it didn't look promising.  After 138 pounds, the Royals found themselves down 27-6, with the only points scored by way of forfeit.

But captain Brady Moesenthin beat 7th ranked Trey Kruse at 145 6-3 to start an avalanche of points.  Captain Brock Rinehart followed with an 18-7 major decision, and Sam Ellis, Daryl dela Paz, Mason Barrows and Donald Nde won by fall to put the Royals up 37-33.  Captain Max Fick finished off Stillwater with a tough 4-2 decision, making the final score 40-33 Royals.

On the JV side, Dave Hawley, Nashawn Hoyer, Amir Muhammad and Alex Mancera picked up wins for the Royals.

On Saturday, the Royals host the Woodbury Duals with matches starting at 9:00am.  Brackets are listed on the website; the Royals start out facing Henry Sibley in the Activity Center at 9:00am.  Stop out and see some great wrestling!
