Jon Gehl earns seventh place at Brandon Tourney

The Fulda/MCC wrestlers traveled to Brandon,SD for a tough tournament this past weekend. Four competed in the tournament, Danny Blankenship,Dawson Blankenship, Keigan Behnke, and Jon Gehl.

Dawson wrestled well in the two matches he had. His first match he lost by fall against a tough opponent from Beresford.  He would also take another tough loss in his second match 7-0 from Dell Rapids. He never quit and was always fighting hard until the last second.

Keigan was also struck down with two losses as well, but not without a fight. He was determined to give everything he had but with every effort fell short on both the matches.

Danny had a tough weekend going 1-2 in the tournament, facing a good wrestler in the first round. He came back in the 1st round wrestle backs with a solid victory to boost the confidence.  Needing only one more win to make the placing round Danny was up against a good kid from Brandon Valley. It came done to the wire but Danny was merely defeated.
