A Hills-Beaver Creek High School junior posted three victories as a member of the Luverne-H-BC-Ellsworth wrestling team since last Thursday.

Seachris saved his best night of the season for a triangular in Harrisburg Tuesday.
Seachris went 2-0 for the night, which helped the Cards beat Garretson 42-30 before falling 45-25 to the host school.
During the win against Garretson, Seachris contributed six points to the team cause by pinning Casey Kringen 24 seconds into the third period.
He also rolled to a 15-2 major decision win against Harrisburg's Scott Gackle.
Seachris went 1-2 without placing at the Jackson County Central Tournament Saturday, an event L-H-BC-E placed eighth in as a team with 64.5 points. Twelve teams were represented in the field.
The H-BC junior opened the tournament by beating JCCÕs Seth Skalicky by technical fall in the first round.
