Dec 19th marked the home dual for the Eagles, an ESD matchup with Pierre. Pierre is the top ranked dual team in the state featuring 10 wrestlers ranked in the top 8 of their respective weight classes. They showed why they are the best dual team in the state handing us a 11-54 defeat. Aberdeen won two matches the entire dual. Garrett Mitzel got a first period pin over Jaret Clarke at 170 lbs and Brenden Salfrank won via tech fall over Trey Lewis at 113. The score doesn't reflect how close a lot of the matches were but Pierre's experience showed as they were able to win those close matches.
Two days later the varsity went up to Valley City ND to compete in what's called the Valley City Holiday Tournament. This 16 team tournament is new to the schedule. Aberdeen finished with a 7th place finish seeing marketable improvement up and down the lineup.
