HILLSBORO HIGH SCHOOL: HHS wrestlers take second at league
Staff writer
The Hillsboro High School varsity wrestling team placed second at the MCAA league meet held last Saturday at Nickerson.
Hesston placed first with 146 points, Hillsboro second with 115, Haven third with 111, Lyons fourth with 109, Halstead fifth with 104, and Nickerson sixth with 88.
"We were happy to finish second," coach Corey Burton said. "Ryan had a good day and won all his matches (all were pins)."
Ryan Janzen placed first in the 119-pound weight class having a 3-0 record for the day. Daniel Yoder and James Bina both placed second in their respective weight classes with 3-1 records followed by Ricky Johnson who also placed second with a 1-1 record.
"I think we wrestled OK," Burton said. "We had a couple of letdowns, but we should learn from them and get focused for the next two weeks."
Up next for the team will be regional competition at 2 p.m. on Friday and at 11 a.m. on Saturday.
"I think we have some kids that we feel should make it out of regionals," he said. "And we have some kids that are right on the bubble. They will have to wrestle well in order to win."
The top four winners at regionals, in each weight class, will advance to the state competition to be held Feb. 28 and March 1 at Fort Hays University in Hays.
