Busy week for Trojan wrestlers

It was a busy weekend of action in Great Falls for the Whitehall High School wrestling team.

The Trojans started their three days of action at mixer event Thursday with Great Falls Central and Anaconda.

Coach Steve Sacry said no team scores were kept, but Whitehall wrestled well and they were 11-6 overall.

The following two days, the Trojans competed at the CMR Holiday Classic Wrestling Tournament. Sacry said they had not been to this tournament in recent years, but he was impressed with the level of wrestling.

"We were able to compete against some of the powerhouse AA, A, and B/C teams from around the state," Sacry said. "The boys competed well and Whitehall was well represented."

The Trojans placed 11th out of 36 teams with sophomore Connor Johnson leading the way with a third place finish at 126 pounds. Sacry said Braxtyn Armstrong showed toughness with a sixth place finish at 138 pounds.

The team will have one more meet before the Christmas Holiday. They are scheduled to compete Thursday at the Anaconda Mixer.
