The Luverne Cardinals wrestling team hosted the “Top The Tree Holiday Duals” Saturday, Dec. 17.
It was the first time in about 10 years that Luverne has hosted a tournament, according to Cardinals head coach Jordan Kopp.
“It was great to have our home tournament back,” he said.
The event featured six teams, including the Luverne Cardinals, Quad County Cobras, Ortonville Trojans, Viborg-Hurley/Irene Wakonda Cougars, Chester Area Flyers and Springfield Tigers.
The format was five duals (rounds) per team on three mats, with total team points from each round deciding teams’ placement in the tournament.
Quad County placed at the top of the team tournament with Luverne in second place, Springfield third, Ortonville fourth, Chester fifth and Viborg-Hurley sixth.
In Round 1, Luverne took on Ortonville, beating them 78 points to 6. The Trojans forfeited 6 of the 14 weight classes in the dual. The Cardinals won six matches by pin and lost only one match by pin.
In Round 2, the Cardinals wrestled Viborg-Hurley, winning the dual 72 points to 12. The Cougars forfeited nine classes and won two classes by pins.
In Round 3, Luverne faced the only other team with a full roster of weight classes, Quad County. Luverne and the Cobras were tied 34 points to 34 after the first 13 weight classes, Luverne lost the final class by forfeit and the dual 40 points to 34.
In Round 4, Luverne faced Springfield, winning 72 points to 10. The Tigers forfeited 10 weight classes. Luverne and Springfield split the remaining four weight classes 2-2.
In the final round the Cardinals wrestled Chester, winning 66 points to 18. The Tigers forfeited six classes. Luverne won five classes by pins and lost three classes by pins.
The Luverne Cardinals are scheduled to travel to the Garretson Invitational Saturday, Jan. 7, and a dual against Adrian Area Tuesday, Jan. 10, in Adrian.
