Despite two tough losses, GHS Wrestling comes out on top against Sioux Valley

Date:

Garretson held its first home Quad Wrestling tournament against Parker, Mt. Vernon/Plankinton/Corsica-Stickney (MVPCS), and Sioux Valley on Thursday, December 12. Garretson had a tough showing, gaining only three points against Parker, 24 against MVPCS, and coming out on top with Sioux Valley.

ā€œThis is one of the better Parker and MVPCS teams we have seen in a number of years. Both teams have full lineups and we gave up 5 forfeits (open weight classes) so it is hard to start out a dual 30-0 and fight back from that. Our short lineup is our biggest enemy when it comes to competing in duals,ā€ said Head Coach Francis Ruml.

Garretson had three points to Parkerā€™s 71 points, and 24 to MVPCSā€™s 52 points.

ā€œI was a little disappointed with our conditioning and I take responsibility for that. It's hard to get a nice balance at the beginning of the season between introducing technique and conditioning. We have a very young and inexperienced team so we have really been working on the basic fundamentals of wrestling,ā€ said Coach Ruml.

However, Garretson did better against Sioux Valley. While scores were close, Garretson came out on top, gaining 36 points versus Sioux Valleyā€™s 34 points.

The next tournament for the high school wrestling team will be at Plankinton on December 21, then on to Sioux Falls Lincoln for the Floyd Farrand Tournament on December 30.
