A hectic week for the Jackson County Central wrestling program continues Thursday with a triangular in Fulda where the Huskies will face both host Fulda/Murray County Central and Lake Crystal Wellcome Memorial.
On Friday, JCC will host the Big South Conference tournament with wrestling to start at 3 p.m. Saturday will see Huskies wrestling at two sites as the varsity competes in a tournament at Mapleton and there will also be two JCC athletes at the Minnesota Ninth Grade and Under Wrestling League state tournament in Champlin.
Look for separate newsletters on the BSC and MNNGWL events.
The week started Tuesday with a 42-27 win over Adrian Area in Adrian that should cement the number one seed in the upcoming Section 3A tournament for the Huskies.
JCC won eight of the 13 matches and picked up six-point wins in six of them.
Dez Tupper won by forfeit at 107 pounds. Winners by fall were Kyler Thier (114), Kayden Eller (121), Isaac Rodriguez (127), Trey Rossow (145) and Nolan Ambrose (145).
Seth Stai (160) won a decision and Ryan Haley (189) won by decision in overtime.
Thursday triangular
Class 1A fourth-ranked Jackson County Central will face section rival Fulda/MCC and No. 8 Lake Crystal Wellcome Memorial in Fulda.
The JCC-LCWM dual could have seeding implications for both the state team and individual tournament.
The Huskies have a 14-2 dual meet record. They haven’t lost to a Minnesota team as they lost to Liberty, Ariz. and Washington, Ill. at The Clash in LaCrosse.
The Knights are 19-3. Two of those losses are to highly ranked Minnesota teams, Class 3A No. 2 Shakopee and Class 2A No. 2 Kasson-Mantorville. The other was to Wisconsin Division 3 No. 3 La Crosse Aquinas.
LCWM will be the top seed in Section 2A. The Knights and Waterville-Elysian-Morristown (13-10) are the only teams in the section with winning records and LCWM won the head-to-head matchup 50-18.
The Warriors have a 10-8 record.
