Badger girls pin their way to victory over Post Falls

BONNERS FERRY— Bonners Ferry girls wrestling sweep Post Falls with every Badger winning their match for Senior Night on Feb. 7.

Post Falls sole victory was by forfeit and seven Badgers won by pin. 

Starting out were double team forfeits for the 100, 107 and 114 weight classes. 

Neveah Therrien (114, 26-3), the 2023 107 Defending state champion, wrestled up a weight class to 120 and after a tough battle pinned Post Falls’ Emma Younger. 

Bonners Ferry head coach Travis Stolley said Therrien currently wrestles at 114, but wrestled up a weight class on Wednesday, as Post Falls did not have a wrestler at 114. 

Following Therrien, Aubree Graves (126) and Sofia Brown (132) won by pin over their opponents. Rylann Lewis (138) received a forfeit for Bonners Ferry and Chloe Thomas (145) received a forfeit for Post Falls, making the score 24-6 favoring the Badgers. 

Senior Savannah Rickter made quick work of her opponent Karma Nutter, winning by pin. 

Senior Aubrey Wells (165) attempted a pin at the end of the second period, but was nearly pinned herself by Sophia Steward of post falls. Wells won by an 8-6 decision, scoring three points for the Badgers. 

Freshman Eva Willis pinned Zoey Braun at 5:40 minutes into the match. Hallie Hartman (235) finished the night by pinning her opponent Gracelyn Brockman.
