Wrestling season ends for SHS Tiger boys

The 3-2-1A Regional Wrestling Tournament in Norton looked to be a very tough one, featuring 36 ranked wrestlers and five ranked teams. The competition on Saturday lived up to its billing, and the Tiger boys were unable to earn a trip to the state tournament this weekend. The seasons of Cameron Balthazor (126), Emerson Lowry (144), Zach Young (190), and Ryan Mongeau (285) came to and end as none of them were able to place in the top four in their weight class.

Three of the Tigers will have another chance next year, as only one, Zach Young, is a senior.

As a team Stockton finished in 18th place, with Hoxie winning the tourney.

Team scores and results for the Tigers are as follows:
