Wildcat wrestling competed once last week in a double dual against Whitefish and Ronan on Saturday in Whitefish after Thursday’s home dual with Eureka was canceled.
The MatCats had a good showing against some tough competitors, said head coach Jessie Schaeffer. Columbia Falls defeated Ronan 44-27 and Whitefish 33-30. A notable match occurred against Ronan, said Schaeffer, when Wildcat Lucas Thacker (170) defeated Chief Daniel Collins Bishop 6-0.
Wildcat Tyler Gilfry (113) had a standout match against Whitefish, defeating well-ranked Bulldog Nathan Sproul 7-5 in overtime. The MatCats hit the road on Thursday to compete against several teams starting at 5 p.m. in Frenchtown. The brawlers then return home for a mixer style meet starting at 1 p.m. on Saturday for the last regular season competition of the year.
