On Thursday, January 21, 2016, the Pioneer wrestlers took on the Har-Ber Wildcats in a single dual.  The Pioneers had eight wins but still fell short to the Wildcats 36-24 points.   Gentry lacked boys for two weight classes; therefore, they lost the points for those two matches.  The Pioneers were missing some due to sickness.

Seniors Kong Lor and Petter Thao held the team with 2 wins each.  Sophomores J.T. Crosby, and Matthew Nance, along with freshman Garrett Hays, backed up the team with one victory each.

When asked about the meet, Lor said, “I was honestly really impressed with the way that the team wrestled that night, especially since the team has a lot of new faces.  Each and every one of us has improved significantly since the beginning of the wrestling season, and it makes me proud.  I hope to see the team fight with everything they’ve got all the way to state until the very end.”

The Pioneers next meet is on Tuesday, January 26, 2016.  Stay tuned in for more information!
