Hills-Beaver Creek High School junior Dusty Seachris produced a big win for the Luverne-H-BC-Ellsworth wrestling team Thursday in Luverne.
Seachris and the Cardinals hosted Worthington for a Southwest Conference duel when he produced a pin that tied the team tally at 24 late in the match.
Unfortunately for L-H-BC-E, Seachris' pin would be the last win the Cardinals would get Thursday. Worthington won the last four matches of the night to post a 45-21 victory.
Seachris, however, gave the Cardinals an opportunity to win the duel. His pin of Matt Cowdin with 30 seconds left in the 135-pound match left the contest up for grabs.
Kerry Fink, an H-BC eighth-grader, also competed for the Cardinals.
Fink was pinned by Worthington's Cody Schmidt 1:26 into the second period of the 119-pound match.
The loss left L-H-BC-E with a 2-7-1 overall record and a 0-3 SWC mark. L-H-BC-E hosts the annual Cardinal Tournament Saturday before entertaining Tracy-Milroy Tuesday.
