PREP ROUNDUP: Vikings get aggressive, pin down Sandpoint

• WRESTLING

COEUR d’ALENE — On Saturday, Coeur d’Alene wrestling coach Jeff Moffat didn’t feel as if his team was competitive enough on the second day of the River City Duals tournament.

A few days later, the Vikings won 10 of their matches by pinfall — only allowing points on forfeits in a 75-12 dual win over the Sandpoint Bulldogs at Jordan Court on Wednesday.

“A lot of what happened last weekend was not being aggressive and how we competed,” Moffat said. “We told them, win, lose or draw, you’ve got to compete harder. And tonight, they were the aggressor and going out and hunting for pins, which was really good to see. Hopefully we can see it keep going.”

Boston Spear (106 pounds), Dax Larsen (126), Mason Keough (138), Demarco Piazza (145), Nolan Randles (152), Carsen Speelman (160), Gunner Giulio (170), Bear Brunner (182), Angelo Miller (195), Jackson Kohal (285) and Cooper Frank had pins for Coeur d’Alene.

“Carsen’s been filling in and doing a good job,” Moffat said. “He just likes to compete and is going to be a good wrestler for us down the road. Dax is a fairly new wrestler, but just keeps getting better and better. As long as we’re continuing to improve, I’m happy with that.”

Coeur d’Alene will compete in the Clearwater Classic on Friday and Saturday. The Vikings will also send a squad to the Van Tuinstra Duals tournament at Timberlake High on Saturday.

Post Falls 65

Lake City 24

COEUR d’ALENE — After getting knocked off at home by the Timberwolves in 2019, the Trojans didn’t have payback on their minds.

Just competing.

Connor McCarroll earned a pin at 113 pounds, one of nine by the Trojans in a dual victory over the Timberwolves at Lake City High.

“The kids came out and wrestled hard,” Post Falls coach Pete Reardon said. “We handled it like any other match, and just went out and competed. And I think we did a good job of that.”

The dual was originally scheduled for Dec. 16, but was postponed due to a power outage.

John Rudebaugh won by technical fall at 152 for Post Falls, which is off until the North Idaho Rumble at Coeur d’Alene High on Jan. 29-30.

Grey Shinkle (182), Matthew Whitcomb (195) and Logan Parson (285) had pins for Lake City, which is off until hosting the TerHark Cup on Jan. 28 against Coeur d’Alene.
