Highlanders Bring the Heat to Border Brawl

This past Saturday a smaller contingent of Highlanders traveled to Plentywood for the Annual “Border Brawl” tournament. There were 325 wrestlers from 9 different local clubs on hand. GWC brought the 4th largest team to the mats boasting a group of 36 boys and girls and would ultimately walk away with NINE Individual Champions and 30 top three finishes. The team enjoyed a 52% winning percentage for the day and finished with 41 wins by pin or technical fall.

After five weekends of competition in the books, the Highlanders are officially at the halfway point of this year’s club season. The coaching staff is very proud of where the current team stands. The kids are growing every single day, working hard, and having fun! This weekend we will take our traditional week-off out of respect for the State High School Tournament. Our Scotties will be competing at the Billings Metra this Thursday thru Saturday and we encourage our club kids and parents to attend and support our squad. If you can’t make Billings remember you can watch all the matches LIVE online.

The Highlanders will officially be back in action on Saturday February 28th with the Glendive Invitational and on Sunday March 1st with the Havre Invitational.

Highlanders Take Control in Glasgow and Malta

GWC comes off a memorable weekend on both the home mats and the rival mats. On Saturday, it was the annual Glasgow Wrestling Club Invitational in Scottie Gymnasium. Despite freezing rain conditions blanketing Northeast Montana on Saturday morning, 495 wrestlers from 20 different clubs still showed up to do battle! No team would have a larger contingent than the host team squad; as the Highlanders had 79 competing. GWC impressed from start to finish in crowning TWENTY Individual Champions and 59 Individual Place Winners. The community of Glasgow benefited greatly from another fantastic tournament. At the conclusion of the event, the club finished with their traditional “Bowling Party” for all wrestlers and their families at El Cor Del Lanes. The Glasgow Wrestling Club would like to thank the Glasgow TBID for their financial contribution to this year’s event and recognize our parents for their hardwork and volunteerism in helping put on the tournament.

On Sunday, it was off to the “Cover the Court” tourney in Malta. 333 wrestlers from 11 clubs were on hand. Only the host club had a larger roster than the Highlanders as GWC had 48 wrestlers strapping on the singlet for a day on the mats. EIGHTEEN Highlanders grabbed Gold while 37 finished in the top 3 of their respective weight classes.

Next weekend we will head to the MonDak Open in Williston, North Dakota.
