The Dassel-Cokato/Litchfield wrestling team competed in the Redwood River Riot tournament Friday and Saturday. The team finished fourth out of 36 teams, with seven placewinners.
Beau Nelson (195) had their best finish at the tournament, placing second.
Jude Link (152) suffered his first loss of the season against Payton Anderson of Fairmont-Martin County West. But Link would finish strong, taking third place.
Eddie Simes (132), Noah Halonen (160) and Will O'Brien (182) all came in fourth after dropping their third place matches.
The Dragons had a few open weights that were due to illness.
A great finish for the team and a result that should give them confidence moving forward.
The Dragons will head to Fargo next weekend for the Rumble in the Red before getting a week off.
