Four Tiger Wrestlers are state bound – Fresh/Soph and Middle School Sectional results

Four more Beardstown Tiger wrestlers have qualified for State Tournament action.  Two high school freshman/sophomores and two junior high wrestlers placed in the top four in the Sectional Tournament to advance.  The Illinois Wrestling Coaches and Officials Association sponsors the Fresh/Soph State Tournament and Beardstown’s Alex Armenta, and Maddox and Alcantar Medrano all qualified for the Sectional held at Granite City.  Armenta, wrestling at 106 pounds, lost by technical fall to the number one seed from Cahokia in round one and fell again by tech fall in round two to bow out of the tourney.

BJHS Tigers get swept away by Tornados

They played a game at home and a game on the road last week, but the result was the same each time for the Beardstown seventh and eighth grade boys’ basketball teams as they lost all four contests. On Tuesday, at home the Tigers lost to West Central and on Thursday on the road they fell to Griggsville-Perry.

Good luck! Tristan Belleville shakes hands with an Auburn Trojan prior to their wrestling match.
