• Wrestling against Crookston tomorrow at the LHS “Brick House” gym. JV and youth start at 6pm and Varsity to follow around 7pm. We only have 3 home duals this year so please come out and support our HS wrestlers!
• We will be doing a Youth scrimmage with Crookston tomorrow 12/11 in TRF vs Crookston prior to the Varsity dual at 6pm. I’m still waiting on the coaches to have the list of matches.

• The first “local” MN/USA State qualifier is coming up on Sunday December 9th already in Barrett, MN. This is a great opportunity to qualify for a state tournament (Rochester, MN March 8-10), it’s double points so kids just need to finish 1st or 2nd in a 4 man bracket. The only other local opportunity is January 13th in Moorhead. All other qualifiers are near the twin cities for the most part. A MN/USA card is required to attend this tournament, the Takedown Club will pay for this ($40). If you plan to attend please let us know so we can get you a MN/USA card.
• Remember – first 8 practices a wrestler attends, they will earn a pair of Prowler Wrestling gym shorts, we hope to see you there!
• We will be doing a Youth scrimmage with Crookston on 12/11 in TRF vs Crookston prior to the Varsity dual. We will start around 5:15-5:30pm so you will need to be there by 5 at the latest. This is for 1st-6th grade. I will have a sign up sheet at practice, please sign up by Thursday if interested. Once we get a list of names, we will compare to what Crookston has (age, ability, weight) and let you know if there is a match for your son or daughter. Coaches will do their best putting together matchups, but please keep in mind Crookston only has 28 wrestlers (We have 64 1-6th grade) and not all will travel here. We will let everyone know that has a match the day prior.
