Lakeland is second with 106 and Coeur d’Alene is third with 88.
“We’re pretty happy with the way the guys wrestled,” Post Falls coach Pete Reardon said. “There was a few matches we should have had, but most of the teams we’ll see again for regionals. It’s a good tournament for us, especially with being on the road and important to keep the momentum going.”

“We had a really good quarterfinal round and the kids wrestled tough,” Lakeland coach Rob Edelblute said. “Tavis beat the No. 2 seed in the tournament (Mathias De La Rosa of Post Falls), Brian beat the No. 4 seed from Middleton and Wyatt got a big win for us as well. Everyone is wrestling to their potential and above right now. Hopefully they’ll continue that through the rest of the season.”

“I thought our boys wrestled really well,” Coeur d’Alene coach Jeff Moffat said. “We’re starting to wrestle well at the right time. Mario beat a 4A runner-up in the quarterfinals and it was a good win for him. There was a lot of good wrestling and it’s a really tough tournament.
Championship finals are tentatively scheduled to begin at 3 p.m.
Lake City’s Nathan Lambert (152) and Ryder Mervin of Timberlake (285) also advanced to the semis.
