The Panthers brought home the championship trophy after giving their best effort in the Sebeka Holiday Tournament. On Monday, the Panthers defeated Wadena-Deer Creek 60-46 to advance
to the championship game against New York Mills. The score was
close after the first half, but then as they’ve done all year, the maroon and gold dominated the second half, winning 61-49. Senior
Grant Yohnke, at left, was given the game ball for scoring his
1000th point during the tournament. No article was submitted by
Coach Thoennes at presstime.

Despite open weights,
four Raiders place
Nighthawks host first
match of year
by Coach Mike Barthel
The Raiders traveled to Henning to take on OTC on Thursday. It was another dual like the
other duals this year. Many open
weights and many young wrestlers, but the guys wrestling with
heart and effort.
The Raiders were able to get
Anthony Kern back on the mat
and he looked good. But giving
up 18 points on open weights was
too much for the Raiders to overcome.
On Friday and Saturday, the
Raiders traveled to Cass Lake
for the second biggest wrestling
tournament in the state. With 37
teams there, it is a meat grinder
and one where many guys get
hurt. With that the Raiders sat
out Anthony Kern, Jarret Kveton, Marshall Willis, Zack Waln
and Dillon Card due to injury
concerns. So we came into the
tournament with only eight of the
fourteen weights filled and yet,
the guys wrestled outstanding.
The young guys went after it,
with a bright spot being Devin
Dean who won two matches and
looks to be turning a corner and
becoming tougher every day.
Quinn Kern, Braydon Bertram,
and Camron Powel also impressed. Although they didn’t
win many matches, they attacked
and are really making strides to
become solid varsity starters and
the kind of wrestlers that will
start winning more then they
lose. The older guys wrestled out
of their minds—all four of them
placed with Ethan Kimber taking 2nd; Holt Truax 4th; Hayden
Truax 6th; and Charlie Nienaber
7th.
It was an outstanding tournament for them with Kimber
and the Truax brothers defeating ranked opponents and beating guys convincingly. If they
continue to wrestle like this and
make improvements like they
have, they will be a force down
the stretch.
Now if the Raiders can get the
other guys back healthy and able,
they can challenge for the section
title again this year.
Last year the Raiders filled all
14 weights and they placed four
wrestlers. This year they had only
eight wrestlers going and placed
four, with four more guys who
more than likely would’ve placed
if they were healthy. The Raiders
finished in 16th place which impressed many other coaches and
fans.
The next action for the Raiders will be January 2 when they
travel to Belgrade for the BBE
Invite. Note that the start time for
the tournament changed and will
start at 10 a.m.

The Nighthawks hosted their first home meet of the season as
the Vikings of Pelican Rapids and the Eagles of New York Mills
traveled to Parkers Prairie for a triangular on Friday, December
19. On Tuesday, December 16, the Nighthawks were on the road
to Barrett where they took on West Central and Border West in
triangular action. The Nighthawks fell in both matches, losing to
WCA 6-66 and to Border West 16-39. No article was submitted
by Coach Wagner at presstime. At top, seventh grader Levi Line,
wrestling at 120 pounds, tried to put his opponent in a nice hold.
Above, Eric Brauch, a 9th grader wrestling 182 pounds, tried to
keep his man from getting the escape and the point.
