The team portion of the Mille Lacs Raider wrestling season came to an end last Saturday at the section tournament as the fifth-seeded Raiders fell to the fourth-seeded Staples-Motley Cardinals, 54-19.
Zach Remer got the first win for the team with a 6-0 decision over his Cardinal opponent at 113 pounds, but Staples rattled off six straight wins to take a 36-3 lead.
The Raiders won three of the next four weights with Landyn Remer and Chris Ecker each getting pins and Hudson Mann earning an 11-1 major decision. That would be the end of the scoring for the boys in black and gold as the Cardinals won the final two matches to close out the dual.
Coach Hughley knew the road to victory was going to be tough, saying, “We were going into the match down three starters, which certainly did not help our chances, but the kids who wrestled today looked good and I hope this will bode well for next weekend’s section individual tournament.”
The Raiders ended the season with 22 wins against 10 losses.
