Chisago Lakes Quadrangular

Returning to action after the holiday break, the Wildcats made quick work of all three of their North Suburban Conference opponents at the Chisago Lakes Quadrangular on Thursday, January 6. They opened with a decisive 57-18 win over Robbinsdale Cooper. Their next opponent, Columbia Heights, sent just three varsity wrestlers and the Wildcats shut them out 75-0. Totino-Grace put up the biggest fight of the night, but succumbed to the Wildcats 41-22. "Against Totino," said Wildcat head coach Shawn Frederixon, "we had a lot of good matchups. The guys did what they were supposed to do and we kind of ran away with it."

Hibbing Duals

The Wildcats went 3-1 in duals at the eight-team Hibbing Duals last Friday and Saturday, January 7 and 8, finishing second. Their only loss was to tournament champion Centennial. Three Wildcats were named to the all-tournament team for going 4-0 over the weekend: Quade Zupko (125 and 130) Ben Hinderman (160 and 171) and Travis Kammerer (171 and 189). Each of the three wrestled two matches at two weights. Jakes Nase (215 and 285) went 3-0, and Kyle Schoenecker and Dylan Connell each went 2-0 at 103 pounds.

In the opening match against Bemidji, the Wildcats trailed 33-17 after the 152-pount match. But Hinderman (160) and Kammerer (171) pinned their opponents to pull the Wildcats within four at 33-29. After a Wildcat forfeit at 189, Jake Nase won at 215 to and Bemidji still led by four at 39-35. Dylan Hoyt (285) pinned his opponent in the first round, and the Wildcats had a hard-fought 41-39 victory. "Bemidji is young but scrappy," said Wildcat head coach Shawn Frederixon. "We knew it was going to be close and we were able to get enough done to win the match."

Against Centennial, the Wildcats trailed 16-10 after Joe Virga's win by decision in the 135 pound match. But Centennial rolled of four straight wins to take a commanding 31-10 lead. The Wildcats won three of the last four matches, including two by pins. But it wasn't enough as the Cougars won three of the last four matches to win by a final score of 34-26.

Trailing 22-21 against Hibbing after the 145 pound match, the Wildcats won five of the last six matches, including four by pin, to win 49-28. Against Princeton, the Wildcats trailed 30-16 after a forfeit at 152. But the Wildcats won four matches in a row, including three by pin, to take a 37-30 lead on their way to a 37-33 win.

Said Frederixon "We still have two forfeits in our lineup, so for our guys to fight back from those holes is a pretty big thing. We came out ahead in three of four matches. Ben Hinderman had an outstanding weekend. He has been up and down for us so far this season. He got four wins Friday and Saturday, including three pins. We bumped him up a couple of times and he came through with wins for us at 171 both times."
