Round four saw another loss to Grand Junction High School, 48-30. The Cowboys rallied in the final rounds, defeating Olathe High School 35-30 and Grand Valley High School 42-18.
Senior Cade Blunt led the team with a perfect 5-0 record. “I did pretty good! I didn’t give up any takedowns, and it was nice to get the rust off. The team did good; they all looked super tough, and our younger guys are looking good,” Blunt said.
The Cowboys will head to Montrose, Colorado, this Friday for a two-day tournament. Parents are encouraged to send photos of the away meets to the Herald Times please reach out or contact Jared Henderson at (970) 878-8065 or email [email protected].
