Two Rangers to wrestle at state meet this weekend

Thursday, February 23, 2012

Marshall Swanson and Dominick Schooler will compete for individual championships at the state tournament this weekend.
Swanson and Schooler are the first Hill City wrestlers to win individual championships at a regional tournament. Swanson (120 pounds) and Schooler (113) helped earn the Rangers 47 points at the Region 4B Tournament in Mobridge, earning 11th place.
Philip took the first spot with 155.5 points, Bennett County came in second with 87.5 points and Hot Springs took third with 85 points. Custer, Mobridge-Pollock, Stanley County, Newell, Gettysburg, Lemmon/McIntosh and Harding County rounded out the top 10.
Wrestling begins at 10 a.m. on Friday and the majority of the wrestling will take place on Friday during 2 sessions. The tournament schedule and ticket information can be found on the South Dakota HS Activities association web site. http://www.sdhsaa.com/Athletics/BoysSports/Wrestling.aspx.
The State “B” Wrestling tournament will not be on this side of the state for several years, so now is the time to support the Rangers.
