Eagles send five wrestlers to districts

The Eagle wrestling team will be represented by five wrestlers this Saturday in Sioux Rapids after last week’s 1A sectional at Manson. The team took third at Clarion-Goldfield-Dows won with 225.5 points. They were followed in order by Manson NW Webster with 220, Eagle Grove with 186, West Bend-Mallard with 154, Pocahontas Area with 142, Belmond-Klemme with 71 and St. Edmond with 37.5.

Gabe Rolon (120), Mark Dawson (145) and Joel Mendoza (220) all won their bracket, with Jake Graham (113) and Josh Graham (132) both advancing as well after runner-up finishes. Rolon scored two falls following a bye, Dawson did the same and Mendoza followed a pin with a 17-7 major decision to move on. Jake lost his semifinal match, then clawed his way back by winning two wrestle back matches in a row. Brother Josh lost in the semifinals, but had already beaten his wrestle back match opponent so advanced anyway.
