Raiders reign at invitational
by Coach Michael Arvidson
The Raiders returned from the holiday break with two home events the week before last.
They knocked the rust off with a triangular on Thursday night before hosting their individual tournament on Saturday.
In the first round of the triangular, they squared off against the Trojans of Barnesville. Justin Olson sparked the scoring with a quick pin. Preston Captain followed suit. Bennet Arceneau trumped the time and Evan Jares collected the fourth consecutive first-period fall for the 24-0 lead. David Revering earned a quality decision in front of another first-period pin for Reese Thompson. Holden Truax came out on top of a back-and-forth match to secure the decision for the 36-0 lead halfway through.
Barnesville would win five of the final matches with Justin Koehn collecting a Forfeit to round out the dual 42-25 in favor of BHVPP. . .
