“Riley hasn’t been our regular guy, but came up and got a big win,” Coeur d’Alene coach Jeff Moffat said. “He was beating him pretty good, then lost at the Rumble, so to see him bounce back and get a win was good to see.”

“We’re wrestling really well right now,” Moffat said. “We just need to keep the momentum going.”

“We knew there was a forfeit for us at heavyweight, and needed both Chance and James to come through tonight,” Lake City coach Corey Owen said. “Chance, he had a really tough kid and knew he had to get his hand raised for us to win. It was the best he’s wrestled all year tonight. Earlier this year, he was a little impatient at times, but he was just solid and got the job done for us tonight. James has been wrestling really well and came out and was dominant tonight.”
