F/MCC Warrior Wrestlers end team season in first round of tournaments

F/MCC Warriors ended their team portion of the season on February 15th.  The Warriors wrestled Luverne Cardinals on Thursday evening in the first round of the section tournament.

Dawson Blankenship started out at 106# wrestling Riley Cowell.  With Dawson losing to Cowell earlier this season there needed to be some adjustments in Dawson’s wrestling.  Dawson came out in the first period more prepared and did not let his Luverne opponent score the first takedown this time.  Dawson countered Cowell and took him down.   With Dawson riding Cowell throughout the first period trying to put Cowell on his back, the match looked like it was going to be a close match.  But, with the constant pressure Dawson put on Cowell, Dawson cradled his opponent at the end of the period and pinned him.
