Fresh off capturing the Norwood/Young America Invitational championship, the Eagles grapplers were back at it Tuesday night, Jan. 8, when they traveled to Pierz, for a duel match with the Rockford Rockets and the Pierz Pioneers. Eden Valley-Watkins came out strong, taking the Rockford match, 66-12. But Act II of the matinee proved too much for the Eagles, as they dropped the Pierz contest, 51-19. EV-W Coach Dan Berg thought the guys had a decent night overall. “Well, Rockford gave up seven forfeits, and overall, against Pierz, we did alright.” Wins by pins for EV-W v Rockford, were Donavin McCann at 132 lbs., Cain Renner at 145 lbs., Luke Kuechle at 170 lbs., and Matt Unterberger at 220 lbs. Seven other weight-class divisions were won by forfeit.

It was a pretty good couple of days for the Eden Valley-Watkins wrestlers, as they defeated the Rocori Spartans and Paynesville Bulldogs in a dual meet Thursday night, Jan. 10, after having split a dual match with Rockford and Pierz on Tuesday, Jan. 8; capping off an impressive 3-1 record for the week. The early contest featured a Rocori Spartans showdown, with the Eagles taking a 40-33 victory. In the eight o’clock session versus the Paynesville Bulldogs, EV-W hung on and prevailed, 36-32. “It is always nice to get two wins, but I think we can do better as a whole,” said Eagles Coach Dan Berg. The Eagles came out strong in the opener with Rocori. “We wrestled Rocori first and did a good job. I thought our energy level was a little down, but you can’t complain about wins,” said Berg. Blonigen, Renner, Peterson and Miller each earned pins. Schindler, Mathies, Salzl, Kuechle, Hoffman, were also victorious in their matches.

Lose to KAHS Following an overtime victory against Holdingford at the
St. John’s Prep Holiday Tournament, the EV-W Eagles fell short last Thursday night, Jan. 3, at home, to the Kimball Area Cubs, 58-46. The contest couldn’t have been any tighter, as the clock at the half-time buzzer revealed a 19-19 tie. But to EV-W’s chagrin, the Cubs would trump the Eagles second-half tally of 27 with 39 of their own. Senior guard Brent Stenger led the Eagles with 14. Sophomore forward Jared Streit managed 12; Kirby Knutson, senior forward, finished with 8; and sophomore guard Bret Mattice had 7. The Eagles travel to Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted Tuesday, Jan. 8, and host Maple Lake Friday, Jan. 11.
