BILLINGS — One thing I noticed the state wrestling tournament does not lack is emotion. Some athletes and teams show it more than others, but everywhere I looked, it was there. If a kid lost a match he thought he should have won, there was anger. Headgear takes a lot of abuse after a loss. Or if a kid won a big match, there was excitement and happiness, with plenty of fist pumps, high fives, and hugs to go around. Havre High's Keegan Kennelly is emotional following Saturday night's 98-pound Class A state championship match a...
