Sugarbeeters, Longhorns reach the podium in Shelby

Chinook, Fort Benton/Big Sandy and Harlem all had their moments at this past weekend Class B-C state tournament, which was held in Shelby due to the All-Class State Tournament being canceled because of COVID-19.

The Sugarbeeters scored 32 points and finished 19th overall. Chinook had just three wrestlers in the B-C field, but a pair of them reached the consolation finals.

Wyatt Dunbar took fourth at heavyweight for the Beeters, having reached the semifinals with two wins Friday, before ultimately losing to Malta’s Jaden Keeling in the third-place match. Tyler Schoen also reached the 170-pound semifinals Friday and wound up finishing fourth, as well, in what was his first state tournament.

Drake Berreth also competed in the field for the Beeters.

Fort Benton/Big Sandy finished one spot ahead of the Beeters, scoring 40.5 points to finish in 18th place. The Longhorns were led by Brock Hanford’s fifth-place finish at heavyweight, while sophomore Trevor O’Hara placed sixth at 103 to give the Longhorns a pair of All-Staters.

Reinhard Bold (138), Cade Ball (152) and Hayden Axtman (182) also scored points for the Longhorns, who finished second in the Class C trophy race, while Chinook was third.

Harlem also scored 10 points to tie for 33rd at state, as both Lance Blackcrow (182) and Mikkel Rider (205) scored points for the Wildcats.

As for the tournament itself, Glasgow repeated as Class B-C state champions, scoring 181 points to blow past Huntley Project, who had 151. Circle was third with 96 points and also claimed the Class C state championship along the way.
