Coach Naasz said, "This was a good tournament and gave the athletes an opportunity to wrestle some tough competition. The team wrestled well. We were able to gauge our strengths and where we need to improve. A majority of the losses were due to little mistakes. I felt the team had a great attitude and gave it their all."
On December 18 the Tigers will travel to Plankinton to compete in the MVP tournament starting at 10:00 a.m. Coach Naasz said, "I believe we are on track, but are going to need to have a great week of practice to be prepared for the next tournament.
