Rich Vos Memorial tournament results

A team of three coaches and a recent state tournament wrestler emerged as champions of the second annual Rich Vos Memorial Old Timers tournament, including Jeff Granrud (Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted), B.J. Friedrichs (Sauk Centre), Danny Borgerding (B-B-E) and Seth Hofland (New York Mills). Hofland is a 2011 graduate who wrestled in the Class A state tournament in 2010.

A very nice turnout of 27 wrestlers, their families and a total of a couple hundred fans and volunteers showed up today to support the Rich Vos Memorial scholarship and Jaguar wrestling programs.

Two of Rich's brothers and one of his sisters made the trip today to the B-B-E high school, along with a host of other family members.

Here's some action from the finals today, starting with part of Mark Vos's match:


**Update: as I was heading out from the high school I heard that the Class A division in Alexandria was completed already. The BBE Dazzlers ended up competing in the varsity kick and jazz divisions. Due to the weather and bad roads, the number of varsity high kick teams who were scheduled to compete plummeted into the single digits. Yikes!

It's been a wild weekend, with all sorts of cancellations and postponements. I've gotta hunker down and get our dog, vehicles and other property geared up for the next three days of a pure arctic blast.
