A battle of ranked teams came down to the final match on Thursday evening, with the 10th-ranked Royals eventually falling to the 4th-ranked Rangers from Forest Lake, 40-33.

The Royals were down 13-0 when Will Bents won by fall to cut the lead to 13-6, but additional tough matches got Woodbury down 31-5 halfway through the match.  But pins by Sebastian Zamorano, Omar Abdelal, Brock Rinehart, Tre Hockenberger and Mason Barrows allowed the Royals to fight back into the match 37-33.  A decision in the final match of the night gave the Rangers a hard-fought win.

Other highlights on the evening were Mason Barrows getting his 50th career win and Will Bents getting his 60th career win.

Winning some great matches for the Junior Varsity were Josh Williams (fall), Dave Hawley (decision), Trenton Willner (fall) and Thomas Moesenthin (decision).

The Royals travel to Chisago Lakes HS today for an individual tournament.  Teams participating include Robbinsdale Armstrong, Champlin Park, Chisago Lakes, Goodhue, Grand Rapids, North St Paul, Proctor, Robbinsdale Cooper, Rogers, Rush City, St. Croix Falls and Stewartville.  Wrestling starts today at 4pm.
