The Ron Thon

The Lovell Bulldog wrestling team traveled to Riverton over the weekend to participate in the Ron Thon Tournament.  Lovell placed 9th out of 41 teams.  Not bad for a 2A school.  We were hoping for more boys in the final rounds but we got enough to keep us in the top ten.  Jacob Beck, 160, wrestled to 6th place.  Mark wrestled well to place 2nd at 220 and Dino Collins won the tournament at 182. Dino also got the outstanding upper weight wrestler award. Most of our varsity wrestlers won some matches, which obviously contributed to our team points. We had 99 points so hats off to the Bulldogs!

That is a nice piece of hardware around Mark's neck.

This was a fantastic move that Mark made in the championship match.  It was such a strong move, he used this same move to pin the Douglas guy in the previous match.

It was so cool to see Mark and Dino in the Championship face-off.  They had a write up on all the boys and everything was on TV.  Lucas and Gwen I know were able to watch it.  The announcers said good things about Mark especially when he did this move.

This is an article from the Casper paper.  Daniel Jay, Mark and Dino got interviewed.  I thought Mark said some really good things.
