FRENCHTOWN, Mont. - Zion Dixon (285 pounds), Dylan Woodworth (120), Hayden Chatwin (98) and Justus Grammer (182) each won by pin for Lake City in a 51-28 win over Belgrade (Mont.)
"We lost our first two matches by pin," Lake City coach Corey Owen said. "(Hayden) Chatwin came out at 98 and got a pin and we handled them for a few matches in there."
Lake City also beat Libby 69-16.
"At 113 pounds, David Rodriguez and at 120, Dylan Woodworth both got pins and got things rolling for us," Owen said. "David Ruchi at 132 was losing the whole third period and got a stalling call that put the match in overtime and he got a takedown in overtime to take the match. It was a gutsy performance."
Lake City wrestles today and Saturday at the Rocky Mountain Classic at Sentinel High in Missoula, Mont.
