One-hundred-and-forty-six matches in three days – and another fourth-place finish at a big tournament: It was a packed weekend for Jefferson High wrestling team.
The Panthers made their 2019-20 home debut on Dec. 12, hosting a mixer with East Helena, Highwood and Three Forks. In the mixer format, wrestlers are matched against opponents in their weight class and no team scores are kept. The Panthers suited up 16 wrestlers for the competition.
In the mixer’s first round, Leo Anderson, Christian and Dominick Davis, Cody St. Clair, John Armstrong, Eli Reed, Kaden Johnson, Gracie Olds, Miles Dodge, Joe Riehl, Talon DeMers and Matt Riehl all secured victories – every one by pin. In the second round, Anderson, Christian Davis, St. Clair, Armstrong, Reed, Johnson, Olds, Dodge, Demers, Braeden Jones and Jeyden Sullivan all had their hands raised for the win by pin.
