Parents,

First off, thank you so much for the outstanding spaghetti feed/pie auction! Our kids are SO fortunate to live in such a generous community. We’d like to thank all parents, volunteers, pie makers, wrestlers, Elks Club, donations and bidders that made this a record breaking night for these kids and the club. THANKS!

Great job by our Middle School aged kids @ Havre on their second place finish. We also took 3rd place at Miles City. Everyone did a great job at the mixer on Sunday. What a great week of wrestling!

This is also the tryouts for TEAM MONTANA middle school teams, that travel to Iowa annually. The top 2 place winners in each weight class qualify for this team.

TOURNAMENT WORKERS
Thanks to the parents / family members that were able to work the table and pairings this past weekend. We really appreciate it. Working these events also gives you (as a parent) a better understanding of the scoring and sport in general. If you have any questions about working a table please talk to club Secretary Jodi Dix.
We are expected to provide an adult referee, pairer and work a table every tournament so keep up the good work. If you would like to get involved with pairings please talk to pairing veteran Melani Vandall, she would love to help some more club parents become involved.
