A little on Jaguars wrestling...

The Jaguars shown during the Minnewaska dual meet on February 12 last season, a 40-33 win for the Lakers.

The 16th annual pre-season Central Minnesota Mat Rats report has just been released by by area wrestling guru Roger Mischke. Below is a little information from his report.

The Jaguars wrestling team went 7-16 overall last year and 2-5 in Central Minnesota Conference duals. They open the 2010-2011 season with a home tournament (8 teams) on Friday, December 3.

The Jaguars return five section place winners, including sophomore Ross Rath. Rath took third place in his bracket of the Section 5A individual tournament in Sauk Centre last year, as well as All-CMC honors during the season. He went 29-9 during his freshmen campaign on the mats.

Ben Bordering is the lone senior returning from last year's team. He competed at the 171 pound bracket in 2009-2010, finishing 19-20 overall and taking fifth place at the Section 5A individual tournament.

Eden Valley-Watkins and Kimball Area have been given the nod as pre-season favorites in the Central Minnesota Conference. EV-W went 13-5 overall last year, advanced to the Section 5A final four, and won the CMC title at 7-0 in duals.

Kimball Area went 5-2 in the CMC and 22-6 overall, the best season the Cubs have had since 1998, when they beat B-B-E in the Section 6A championship and finished 2nd at the Class A state tournament.
