COEUR d'ALENE - The Post Falls Trojans had nine wrestlers crowned as champions as they ran away with the team title at the second North Idaho Rumble on Saturday at Coeur d'Alene High.
Lucas Bolster (98 pounds), Drake Foster (106), Mitch Crane (120), Chadd Webster (126), James Ost (145), Tyler Booth (152), Austin Wilson (160), Cole Jesienouski (170) and Nate McLeod (182) won titles for the Trojans, which finished with 244 points. Coeur d'Alene was second with 158 points, followed by Lakeland in third with 125.5.
"It was a great team effort for us," said Post Falls coach Pete Reardon, who saw 11 Trojans place in the top four. "All of our kids wrestled well and we got a lot of wins and bonus points for pins. It all really came together for us this weekend."
Defending champion Coeur d'Alene was second, 86 points behind Post Falls, and had two champions - A.J. Konda (113) and Garrett DeMers (195) - and seven placers total.
"I was really happy we came out of our tournament with some hardware," Coeur d'Alene coach Jeff Moffat said. "What excited me was, we won every placing match we were in except for one."
Third-place Lakeland had six placers, including Brandon Yount, who remained undefeated in winning the 138-pound title.
"Brandon wrestled tough," Lakeland coach Rob Edelbute said. "He came in undefeated and beat two top-notch kids."
Allen Foote pinned his way through the tournament, defeating Trevor Hopkins of Orofino in 5:24 to win the championship at 285 pounds for Timberlake.
"We had some ups and downs in the tournament," Timberlake coach Ryan Montang said. "I think we had 10 guys in the consolation semifinals and got four through to the finals. Some guys did what they had to do."
Lake City had six placers, led by Nate Partenfelder, who was second at 152 pounds.
"All those six that placed had great tournaments," Lake City coach Corey Owen said.
Sandpoint's Matt Lockey won at 220 pounds.
Bonners Ferry's Blaine Invernon won the Justin Allen Most Outstanding Wrestler Award after earning a 5-4 decision over Chris Vergobbi of Kellogg in the 132-pound championship.
