Hosting several opponents Dec. 22, the Orioles held a Pre-Holiday Wrestlig Scramble at Stanley-Boyd Dec. 22.
Following a warmup period, things took off at 4 p.m., with three mats spread across the high school gym floor, wrestling non-stop at each mat through late afternoon. With Breckin Burzynski (14-0) placing first in the 138 pounds boys weight class and Anna Krizan (5-1) second in the 107-pound girls weight class, senior Troy Trevino (5-3) placing third in the 132-pound boys weight class. Other notable results included Landen Hoel (11-3) placing third in the 144-pound weight class, Willy Graham also placing third in the 285-pound weight class. Candin Yeager (8-6) placed second in the 157-pound weight class Dec. 22.
Head Coach Greg Burzynski shared his thoughts once the Pre-Holiday Scramble ended.
“I thought our tournament went well,” he said. “Breckin was our only champ and dominated the kids he wrestled. He had 2 tech falls and 2 pins. He remains unbeaten on the season.”
As to Krizan, Burzynski said that “she wrestled a very good match against a returning state place winner. She has some small things to clean up, but she has a very bright future. She finished second on the day.”
Additionally, Burzynski said that Candin Yeager, “made his first final of his high school career. He went 3-2 on the night with both losses coming to the same person. Overall, Burzynski said that “We continue to improve as a team. We are getting guys to weight; we are getting kids back from injury. As long as our wrestlers continue to be coachable and work hard, good things will happen.”
The Orioles next wrestle Friday, Dec. 29 at the LaCrosse Civic Center. Competition begins at 9:00 a.m.
