The Highlanders are in midseason form! Wolf Point and Havre provided some great competition over the weekend and the boys and girls once again seemingly passed every test. The club split up on Saturday as the majority wrestled in the Wolf Point Invitational while many 5th thru 8th graders headest west to the Havre Middle School Invitational.

Wolf Point featured nine different clubs and offered the 47 Highlanders in attendance another opportunity at key divisional opponents. GWC crowned 16 Individual Champions and secured 34 top three finishers in Wolf Point! The future Scotties finished with the 2nd most Pins/Tech Falls at the event with 54 total and a 64% overall winning percentage.

The Havre Middle School event is school sanctioned for Central Montana and has traditionally allowed clubs to enter to boost the competition level. A small group of Highlanders brought some punch to the meet and would walk away with 3 Individual titles! 12 out of 13 grapplers found the podium with a top 6 finish. GWC had the BEST winning percentage out of the 15 teams in attendance; finishing at 71% (34-14 overall record).

On Sunday, the young Highlanders teamed up with some of the older kids to compete in the Pre-Pony Rumble at Havre High School! 15 clubs and 221 wrestlers formed a small Northeast Division event. GWC traveled with 24 and walked away with 11 Champions! 19 of 24 Highlanders finished in the top three and the team impressed with a 63% overall winning percentage.

Next weekend will have the Highlanders in two different directions once again. The Glendive Invitational will host their local AAU tournament on Saturday. The Montana Middle School State Championships will also be held on Saturday in Lewistown for all 5th thru 8th grade wrestlers. On Sunday, there will be a Little Guy event, called the “Big Spring Brawl”, also in Lewistown.

The Glasgow Wrestling Club once again enjoyed an action-packed weekend with plenty of success! 43 Highlanders headed 70 miles east to participate in the Poplar Invitational on Saturday, while 24 wrestlers made the long westward trek to Butte to participate in the prestigous “Cyclops” event on Saturday and Sunday.

In Poplar, GWC would crown 12 Individual Champions and 31 top three finishers. The team turned in the 2nd most pins/tech falls at the event with 50 overall and finished with a 59% winning percentage for the day. The tournament featured 11 local clubs.

In Butte, it was nothing short of dominance on a grand stage as 20 out of 24 Highlanders would find the podium and secure a top six finish. An incredible 14 Highlanders would ultimately wrestle in the Championship round. The club finished with 12 runner-ups and two Individual Champions. Collins Flaten and Jack Morehouse would both grab gold in their respective weight classes.

The Cyclops is the largest annual event in the State of Montana outside of State AAU and the Montana Open. This year’s version featured 75 clubs and 1,157 wrestlers. GWC finished with 130 points. Good enough for 5th Place Overall and 2nd Place in the Medium Team standings. The Highlanders trailed only four Class AA feeder programs in the final standings; Team Champs (Billings West), Mine Yard Dogs (Butte), Kalispell (Flathead), and North Montana (Great Falls High). GWC was the 10th largest team in attendance and posted an astonishing 81-33 overall record. That is winning at a 71% clip.

On Saturday, the 6th thru 8th grade grapplers also competed in the Mining City Middle School Tournament in Butte as each of them awaited their Sunday turn at the Cyclops. Riley Pattison grabbed an Individual title at the MS event and three others garnered a top 3 finish!

This weekend the club will be back in the AAU Northeast Division with events in Wolf Point and Havre. Wolf Point will host their annual Invitational on Saturday. Havre will host a middle school event on Saturday for 5th-8th graders and their youth tournament will take place on Sunday. The Highlanders plan to have a large contingent at every event.

It was another great weekend for our Hometown Highlanders! The Glasgow Wrestling Club tested their mettle at the MonDak Open in Williston on Saturday and the Border Brawl in Plentywood on Sunday. Neither event could hold GWC down, however, as it was another ultra-successful showing for the future Scotties.

On Saturday, the MonDak Open was held at “The Well” on the campus of Williston State College. It featured 34 clubs and 551 wrestlers! The Glasgow Wrestling Club had the 3rd largest club in attendance with 55 strong. At the end of a long day of wrestling, GWC would finish with 14 individual Champions and 36 top three finishes! The team grabbed the 2nd most pins/tech falls with 63 in total. Only the tournament host would finish with more. The team’s 61% winning percentage trailed only the Dakota Rattlers (Minot, ND).

On Sunday, a smaller contingent of Highlanders took part in the Border Brawl held in the Plentywood High School Gymnasium. Sunday’s group was small, but mighty! 21 Highlanders made the trek and participated in an event that featured 10 clubs and 175 wrestlers. GWC had the 4th largest team at this small event; yet finished with the 2nd most pins/tech falls with 39 total and a tournament best winning percentage of 68%. 10 Individual Champions were crowned at the Border Brawl, while 20 individuals finished in the top three!

Next weekend provides the lone “open” weekend on the traditional Glasgow Wrestling Club Schedule. The open week is strategically placed to allow all youth wrestlers and their parents a chance to attend the High School State Championships at the Billings Metra. Good Luck to our Scotties this weekend!
