The Luverne-Hills-Beaver Creek-Ellsworth wrestling team climbed out of the Southwest Conference cellar Thursday night in Luverne.
Taking on Jackson County Central in a match between a pair of 0-5 SWC squads, the Cardinals locked up sixth place in the league by besting the Huskies 54-25 on Parents’ Night in Luverne.
Both Dusty Seachris and Kerry Fink, H-BC members of the squad, participated in the regular season finale.
The night was not the best one of the year for Seachris and Fink, who lost their matches.
Seachris lost by technical fall at 135 pounds to Jordan Burmeister.
Fink was pinned in 1:34 by Justin Kolander at 125 pounds.
L-H-BC-E was scheduled to open the Section 3AA Team Tournament in Westbrook Tuesday, but poor weather conditions forced the match between the 11th-seeded Cardinals and No. 6 Pipestone to be postponed until tonight.
The teams square off at 6 p.m. in Lamberton, which is the new site of the match.
