Green Machine place again at NYWA Team Regions!

by tobin on March 16th, 2015

Although sending a young and inexperienced line-up, the Green Machine youth wrestling team came with a solid 8th Place finish at NYWA Team Regions on Sunday, March 15.  UPDATE: although originally did not advance with only top 7 advancing, the Green Machine will be advancing to its 3rd straight NYWA Team State.  The unseeded Green Machine knocked off #6 seed Byron 47-31 in the opening round before falling to #3 seed Owatonna 38-32 with score tied heading into heavyweight.  The Green Machine then knocked out Goodhue from the tournament 44-30 but lost to #7 Chatfield 44-23.  In the 7th Place Match with a trip to the State Tournament on the line, they lost to an experienced PEM line-up 42-33 that came right down to the wire with Green Machine leading by scores of 30-0 and 33-15. Good luck at State!
