A pair of Luverne-Hills-Beaver Creek Ellsworth grapplers were selected to the 2001-02 All-Southwest Conference Wrestling Team.
The annual 26-athlete roster was released late last week, and it included the names of both L-H-BC-E qualifiers for the state tournament.
Senior Chris Tiesler made the team at 125 pounds with his 29-7 record. Junior Joel Evans made the squad at 189 with a 27-11 mark.
League champion Windom-Mountain Lake-Butterfield-Odin led all teams by having eight players listed on the All-SWC roster.
Seniors Chad Brown and David Borsgard, juniors Anthony Elg, Derek Hall and Cody Anderson, sophomore Jeff Stuckenbroker, freshman Nick Kulseth and eighth-grader Justin Kolander are the Cobras on the team.
Pipestone-Jasper and Jackson County Central drew six selections each.
P-J seniors Justin Olsen, Brian Smidt, Jason Evans and Mike Evans and juniors Travis Manderscheid and Justin Fruechte made the list.
JCC seniors Kyle Arndt and Marc Harwood, sophomores Jordan Burmeister, Kent Scheff and Tom Nesseth, and eighth-grader Justin Kolander also grace the roster.
Redwood Valley senior Matt Johnson and sophomore Dusty Myers, Marshall junior Colby Bruns and Worthington freshman Thai Hua round out the team.
