Plains-Hot Springs 3rd in St. Ignatius tourney

The right combination of class champions and depth throughout the line-up helped carry the Plains-Hot Springs Savage Horsemen wrestlers to a respectable third-place finish Saturday at the Mission Mountain Classic tournament in St. Ignatius.

Savage Horsemen perform well during senior day

On Saturday Plains/Hot Springs hosted their senior night mixer. Teams in attendance were the Arlee warriors, Superior bobcats and the St Ignatius/Charlo bulldogs.  It was a fairly quick day but the kids got some quality matches in before heading in to the post season week.  Daniel Uli went 3-0 on the day and continues to improve.  He is getting better by the day and is really looking good for going in to the divisional tournament. Terrence Caldwell went 0-2 on the day but wrestled a couple decent matches. You can always count on Terrence to work exceptionally hard and never give up and Saturday was no exception to that. Josiah Vanderwall was 1-2 on the day and despite a nagging elbow injury wrestled very well. Josiah always brings a ton of energy and positive attitude to the team.
