A pair of Hills-Beaver Creek High School athletes wrapped up the pre-Christmas portion of the Luverne-H-BC-Ellsworth wrestling schedule by competing at a dual meet in Pipestone Friday.
H-BC students Kerry Fink and Dusty Seachris both received varsity matches during a 49-27 loss to the Arrows.
Fink, L-H-BC-E’s 130-pound entry, trailed 6-1 in his match against Steve Evans before being pinned 53 seconds into the second period.
Dusty Seachris was facing an 8-2 deficit when he was pinned by Pipestone’s Justin Fruechte 44 seconds into the second period of the 140-pound match.
The loss to Pipestone was L-H-BC-E’s fourth of the season, and second in Southwest Conference competition.
The Cardinals are scheduled to wrestle at the Montevideo Tournament Saturday.
