Three JHS wrestlers earn All-State honors

This year’s Jefferson High wrestling team overachieved all season, and the state tournament was no different, Coach Troy Humphrey said after Saturday’s final rounds of the two-day State All-Class Wrestling Tournament in Billings.

Along the way, they compiled more points than at any time in two decades of JHS wrestlng, earned All-State honors for three of the team members (the most in 16 years), and competed in two matches remarkable enough to go down in school and state lore.

With a divisional title under their belts and fourteen qualifiers making the trip to Billings, the team entered the Metra with high hopes. Thirty-eight other teams also competed in the BC state tourney, all hoping to set records and capture the crown.
