On Friday, Fatima’s boys’ and girls’ high school teams wrestled School of the Osage, both going 1-1, winning against Macks Creek but losing to the Indians.

“Both the boys and girls wrestled really well and have lots of competition ahead of them this week, with two duals and a tournament,” said Coach Kurt Strope.

Against Macks Creek, the boys had just two contested matches. Logan Laux (150) defeated Owyn Charlton (fall 1:42) and Ryder Herzing (175) beat Calvin Eidson (fall 2:53).

The boys’ dual against Osage came down to the wire, however, with Fatima losing by a single point, 38-37.
