Eli Richards and Andrew Sandelin both made the Team Idaho Middle School National wrestling team. The boys flew out last Friday morning to Council Bluffs, Iowa, to meet up with the rest of Team Idaho, consisting of kids from all over Idaho, to wrestle at the 2018 Heartland National Duals tournament, consisting of more than 70 teams from all over the country.

The boys wrestled tough and fought hard as they both beat some top wrestlers in the country, helping Team Idaho come away with a seventh-place finish in the platinum division. The boys learned a great deal and made some new friends during the weekend.

A big thank you for the support of the community, the Bonner Ferry Wrestling Club, and the Bonners Ferry Veterinary Clinic.
