Wrestlers In Dual Tournament Action
The Blue Jay varsity boys’ wrestlers were in action at the region team dual event in Tioga on Saturday, Feb. 7. The top two teams would advance to the State Dual Tournament set for Saturday, Feb. 21 at the Fargodome.

In the semifinals, Velva topped KBBC with a score of 60 to 16 and Williams County topped Stanley with a score of 48 to 21.

Velva took home the region title, defeating Williams County with a score of 51 to 17, while Stanley took home third with a 41-33 win over KBBC.
