The Broadus wrestling club had a great hometown showing on March 4th.
Broadus had 35 wrestlers competing, with around 165 total in the tournament. There was 13 total teams, Miles City placed first, Broadus second, and Baker placing third.
In first place individually were: Kreed Graff, Gary Gatlin, Sophie Ostendorf, Myla Gatlin, and Cole Draine.
Placing second: Carson Williams, Lliam Schiffer, Rowdy Ryan, Frank Sch-oonover, Landon Williams, Trey Harmon, Monte Goggin, Jesse Barnhart, Pruitt McDowell, Isabell Schiffer, AJ Schoenbeck, and Bonita Kinzer.
Placing third: Lincoln Ostendorf, Gunnar Pluhar, Brody and Blaise Reil, Mesa Graff, Cody Draine, and Tyson Schiffer.
Placing fourth: Patrick Handran, Wesley Kinzer, Henry Schoenbeck, Tizer Barnhart, Thane Kolka, and Cort Fleming. Also wrestling hard and laying it all on the line were Hazel Kinzer, Porter Talcott, Clinton Handran, Tyler Jurica, and Savannah Potter.
Some of the highlights included: Monte Goggin with an exciting revenge win, Rowdy Ryan’s throw for the pin in overtime, and all of the visible effort and try by the kids wrestling in front of a hometown crowd. Sophie and Kreed remain undefeated. Many wrestlers are done for the season, while some are going to Gillette next weekend, followed by state in Billings the following week.
A big thanks is in order for Dave and Lydianne Jurica for coordinating the tournament and brackets, making a very smooth production. Thanks to everyone for showing up and supporting these kids, it was a big community and parent effort.
