After wrestling in a triangular Thursday in Presho, the Todd County wrestling team laced it up for the always-challenging Stanley County Invitational on Saturday. 

After the dust had settled from a very competitive tournament, eight Falcon wrestlers finished on the podium (top 8), highlighted by a second place finish in the 106 pound weight class from freshman Jacob Wike.

Wike pinned his first two opponents, including a first-period pin over Class B’s 11th ranked 106 pounder, Clarence Winter of Bennett County.

In the 106 final, Wike was pinned by Class B’s No. 1 ranked wrestler, Dylan Wolf of Lemmon at the 3:05 mark. 

The Falcons had a number of wrestlers matched up against one another throughout the tournament.

Potter County captured the team title with a narrow win over Spearfish. 

Team points: Potter County 203.5, Spearfish 201, Burke/Gregory 176.5, Lemmon 170.5, Stanley County 132, Bennett County 123, Mobridge/Pollock 114, Todd County 79, Newell 63, Lyman County 31
