Eden Valley-Watkins wrestlers put the clamps on all opponents to secure the title of tournament champions Saturday, Jan. 5, at the Norwood-Young America Invitational. Coach Dan Berg was more than pleased with the team effort. “Well, it is always fun to win a tournament. The boys came ready to wrestle. A lot of our guys dropped a weight class or two so we didn’t know what to expect with their energy level but they did a great job.” The Eagles displayed a true team effort, as every wrestler placed 6th or higher. “Zach Blonigen was named the tournament MVW, with two pins and a technical fall, and I couldn’t be more proud of him. He works very hard every day and it is well deserved,” said Berg. The guys who ordinarily get the “ink” did their jobs, but according to Coach Berg, those who don’t get talked about much; like Tyler Donnay, Grant Winter, Shelby Sheldon, and Lyle Miller, came through big, to help capture the trophy. Said Berg, “I just hope we can use this momentum and carry it through the week, or maybe longer.”
