A young PEM Bulldog lineup traveled Saturday to New Prague to mix it up in a tough beginning of the season tournament featuring #3 New Prague, #14 St. Francis and St. Peter. PEM learned a great deal of where they need to be as they progress through the season. The Bulldogs showed their GRIT as each wrestler faced at least one highly ranked state individual from each team. New Prague features on all star lineup with 5 wrestlers ranked in the top 2 in Minnesota. St. Francis has 4 highly ranked individuals also. The Bulldogs will take what they learned in 3 dual losses and get back to work in the practice room. Aiden Graner finished the day undefeated with Carson Rahmn going 2-1. His only loss was to New Prague's Lawson Eller who is currently ranked #1 in the state.
The Jr varsity also competed in the New Prague tournament JV portion. 5 individuals ended the day with outstanding results. Tucker Binner, Easton King, Reid Ihrke and Gavin Stout ended the day with 3-0 records. Aaron Matiash also had a great day going 2-0 before losing in the finals.
PEM will now prepare for a busy week. The Bulldogs will host a triangular Friday night with the FCLMC Wolves and the St. Charles Saints coming to town, in what promises to be two hard fought duals. PEM will recognize both Veterans and wrestling alumni this Friday. Both Veterans and alumni will get into the match for free. The night will feature Plainview's American Legion color guard as well as recognition of Veterans. The alumni portion of the night will consist of PEM wrestling trivia from the past 60 years with prizes awarded. Make sure to come out and support the Bulldogs at home this Friday!
Saturday, PEM will travel to both the Lacrosse Logan and Chatfield for their varsity and junior varsity tournaments, respectively. Stay tuned next week to read exciting results from this weekends action.
