Pioneers finish 1-2 in action at Moville, Milford
Okoboji/H-M-S competed in a pair of wrestling quadrangulars last week and the Pioneers finished 1-2 both nights to fall to 5-13 overall.
The major difference was the final margins of the team scores. At Moville on Jan. 5, the Pioneers won a close battle with Alta-Aurelia (42-36) while being outscored by South Central Calhoun (76-6) and Woodbury Central (51-25), the No. 9-ranked team in Class 1A by The Predicament.
Two nights later, Okoboji/H-M-S won big against Manson Northwest Webster (66-18) but lost close contests to East Sac County (41-33) and Pocahontas Area (42-38).
Individually, H-M-S wrestler Nick Bronstad won three matches by fall at Moville, two of which took less than a minute to complete. He won another match by fall at Milford. One of his losses was to Dane Johnson of Pocahontas Area, who is ranked No. 2 in Class 1A.
Bryce Dodge added two wins both nights and Matthew Meyers won his only match with a pin of Austin Jaeschke of Manson Northwest Webster.
