BFHS wrestlers win dual over Priest River

BONNERS FERRY — The Badger wrestlers competed against Priest River on Jan. 8 at home, with the Badgers bagging a 54-27 dual-meet win in Intermountain League action.

“The kids wrestled pretty well,” said Assistant Coach, Kevin Campbell. “We have some work to do, but we are seeing a lot of good things. And it’s always good getting a win in a league dual. (Priest River’s) numbers are down, but the kids they have wrestle tough. So it is a good thing to come out and wrestle well and get a win.”

On Jan. 12-13 the Badgers competed in the River City Duals in Post Falls. In Match 1, round 1, Lewiston defeated Bonners Ferry 39-36. In Match 2, round 3, Pasco overcame Bonners Ferry 72-10. In the first match of the Quarterfinals, Eureka came out on top with 31 over the Badgers 28. Match 2 Cons. Semifinals, the Badgers beat Freeman 42-22 followed by the Badgers overcoming Walla Walla 42-34 in match 2 of the fifth place match.

Pasco went on to win the event’s gold bracket with a razor-thin victory over host Post Falls, the defending Idaho 5A champion.

“We have been battling some sickness, and missing some kids out of the lineup, which makes winning dual matches very challenging,” said Campbell. “Losing a couple of duals by three points each was tough, especially considering what we were missing.”

After Coach Conrad Garner gave the team a good heart-to-heart chat, the team picked it up and battled in the last two duals.

“It was good to go out with a couple of wins to end the day,” said Campbell.

Badger wrestler Manuel Naccarrato went 5-0 during the weekend, bringing the team up.

“Going undefeated at the River City Duals is a nice accomplishment, and he can wear that shirt proudly,” said Campbell. “He is really wrestling well. We also had a few kids who only lost once during the weekend as well.”

The BFHS wrestlers compete this weekend at the Van Tuinstra Duals tournament at Timberlake High School.
