The Royals went into the Bear's Den on Thursday night and ensured White Bear would continue hibernating over the winter, securing a convincing 54-19 win.  In addition, the Junior Varsity won 8 of 12 matches to complete a dominating performance.

Winning on the Junior Varsity:  Ryan Holt (fall), Jack Anderson (fall), Dave Hawley (fall), Ahmed Abdelal (fall), Thomas Moesenthin (fall), Ethan Chaney (fall), Logan Ryan (fall) and Omar Abdelal (major decision).

The Royals varsity squad wrestled with a bit of a chip on their shoulders, winning 10 of 13 matches--including 2 forfeits, and forfeiting another.  Alex Braun got things rolling with a pin in the first match of the night.  Also winning by fall were Cade Johnson, Cole West, Brady Moesenthin, Nick Sieczkowski and Tre Hockenberger.  Brock Rinehart and Mason Barrows both won exciting matches by decision to make the final score 54-19.

On Saturday, the team will split to two locations:  the 9th Grade Section Tournament will take place at Richfield HS.  Some wrestlers 9th grade and younger will travel to Richfield HS to take a shot at qualifying for the 9th Grade State Tournament.  Action begins at 9am.

In addition, the majority of the squad wil be at Bloomington Kennedy HS for the Kennedy Duals.  Participating teams in addition to the Royals are Kennedy, Champlin Park, Hastings, Minnetonka, Owatonna, Simley and Zumbrota-Mazeppa,  Both Varsity and Junior Varsity wrestlers will compete, with action starting at 9:00am.
