With the regular season coming to a close, the varsity wrestling team went 2-0 on the day with wins against Shelby and Mona Shores. Against Shelby, the Rangers pinned eight out of 14 of the wrestlers to take home the win 59-18. Mona Shores also put up a fight, but the Sailors were conquered 64-12.

Brothers freshman Blake Jacobs and junior Caden Jacobs both picked up pins against their Shelby opponents and gave the Rangers six points each. Junior Robby Frazer had arguably the most entertaining match of the night, as he defeated his opponent in the first criteria tie-breaker.

Against Mona Shores, junior Isaac Gurley defeated his opponent via pin, contributing six points to the overall score. Seniors Wyatt Engler and Tommy Hendricks wrestled at 171 and 160, respectively, and both won their matches.
