The win came on Parents’ Night.

“There was a nice crowd on hand to watch the home team defeat Rosholt and raise its season record to 7-3,” coach Tim Potratz said. “It was great to get matches for most of our kids and wrestle well in front of a Parents’ Night crowd. We are working hard to get ready for the conference dual meets coming up in January and this was a good start to the heart of our conference season.”

Bulldog Cutler Classic

NEW LONDON – The Indians placed seventh out of 13 teams with 131 points.

Gruetzmacher and Stearns made it to the third-place match at 138 and 195, respectively. Gruetzmacher won by injury default over Little Chute’s Brady Spierings and improved to 21-7 on the season, while Stearns fell to Lake Geneva Badger’s Robert Johnson 16-9.

Lenz (152), Loehrke (160) and Bentle (285) placed fifth; Thomas and Haase placed sixth at 126 and 170, respectively; and Danke and Radtke each won a match.

“We went into the tournament without three varsity wrestlers and had two open weight classes, so the lower team finish was not a surprise,” Potratz said. “The young kids competed hard all day and all but three kids won at least one match in the tournament. We will keep working to peak at the end of the season.”

The Indians will host Amherst, Manawa, Shiocton and Wittenberg-Birnamwood Saturday, Jan. 21, for a CWC dual meet, with matches slated to start at 10 a.m.

The Indians will also travel to Plainfield for a 7 p.m. CWC dual with Plainfield Tri-County/Almond-Bancroft Thursday, Jan. 26.
