POLSON - It was a matchup of two of the best wrestling teams in the state as the No. 10 Chiefs visited the Polson Pirates to finish the regular season. Polson won their sixth straight Northwestern A Dual with a 51-30 victory over Ronan. Polson got six forfeits, and Ronan got one, giving the Pirates a jump start on their Mission Valley rivalry.

After Ronan started the night off with a forfeit in the 135-pound class, Alex Nystrom earned a pin for Polson in the 140-pound class against Carston Baertsch. That gave Polson the 12-0 lead.

Shelby Grant got Ronan on the board, pinning Sklyar Anderson at 145-pounds.

Colton Lenz won a 9-5 decision over Dustin Goldby to extend Polson's lead to 15-6.

Forfeits at 160 by Ronan, and 171 for Polson made it 21-12.

Defending state champion Toby Cheff pinned Marklin Burke in 3:09 to pull the Chiefs within 21-18 and then Colby Roberts pinned Jerel Chief Stick at 215 points to give Ronan the 24-21 lead.

However, forfeits at the heavyweight, 98-pound, 105-pound and 112-pound class pushed Polson's lead to 45-24, which put them permanently into the lead.

Ronan wouldn't go away though, as Andrew Teigan pinned the Pirates' Drew Fouty in 5:13 at 119 pounds, to pull the Chiefs to 45-30.

In the 135 class, Polson's Jesse Alfiero scored a 7-5 win over Brandon Dumont to make it 48-30 before Nate Brooks finished the evening on a high point for Ronan, as he won an 8-5 decision over Jose Quinones.
