Scotties Grind at Divisional Wrestling

The Scottie wrestlers are peaking at the right time. Heading into the state meet after an exceptional divisional showing, the potential for individual hardware is high, if not a certainty.

A team title will be more elusive as Colstrip is expected to continue their dominating season. “We've got some tough matches ahead of us,” explained head coach Jory Casterline. “We just need to take it one match at a time.”

The Scotties finished their divisional meet, which was held in Forsyth on Feb. 2, in second place behind Colstrip, and produced a pair of divisional champions. Twelve of the sixteen competitors that represented Glasgow at divisionals will be moving on to the state competition, which will be held at the Metra in Billings on Friday and Saturday, February 8 and 9.

Colten Fast and Oden Hallock brought home gold in their weight classes without losing a single match on the mat.

Placing second and adding considerable points to the team score in Forsyth were junior Kaden Zimmerman, sophomore Dylan Nieskens and frosh Kyler Hallock.

Also qualifying for the state meet were freshmen Jake Kuka and Ben Anderson, sophomores Mayson Phipps, Cooper Larson and Ty Kittleson, and juniors John Cremer and Jake Meiers.

“We had a great divisional meet,” said Casterline. “We are peaking at the right time.”

The Scotties leave for Billings on Thursday, Feb. 7, and will be escorted out of town by the fire truck at 10 a.m. for those that want to join and offer their support.
