Tuesday

NY Mills swept a triangular in Park Rapids on Tuesday night with commanding wins over Park Rapids Area and Fertile-Beltrami.

In its match against the Panthers, the Eagles won the final eight matches of the night to blow past Park Rapids Area by a score of 53-15. Nick Peterson got the Eagles on the scoreboard at 120 lbs. when he won a 13-0 major decision. Chris Yoder followed with a pin at 126 lbs. to make the score 12-10 in favor of Park Rapids. 

After a decision by Park Rapids at 132 lbs. it was all NY Mills as Jacob Guck won by fall in just 15 seconds at 138 lbs., Dane Niemi followed with an 11-0 major decision and three straight Panther forfeits essentially put the match out of reach. 

Jon Rinerson won the final match of the night with a 7-6 decision over Tristian Hill at 195 lbs. Park Rapids Area forfeited the final two matches. 

It was more of the same in NY Mills’ second match of the night as seven Fertile-Beltrami forfeits helped the Eagles come away with a 75-4 win. Fertile-Beltrami secured just one win in the match, while just two matches went the distance.

Austin Geiser picked up the first win for the Eagles as he won a 6-5 decision at 106 lbs. Following a forfeit by Fertile-Beltrami, Peters secured a pin at the 1:14 mark of his 120 lbs. match. Guck won the next match wrestled at 138 lbs. by a first period fall and a pair of Fertile-Beltrami forfeits ensued.

NY Mills put an exclamation point on the win by winning the final three matches of the contest by pin with Cody Barthel, Bode Roberts and Braeden Peterson all winning by pin to end the match.
