RMS wrestlers finish fourth

RBC I Only seven Rangely Middle School boys are out for wrestling this season, but the total includes one of the most outstanding wrestlers in the area.
The young Panthers opened the season Saturday in Hayden and finished fourth as a team.
Rangely seventh grader Calvin Bishop won the championship in the 80-pound bracket, and coaches voted him the tournament’s “outstanding wrestler.”
For the first time in school history, the sixth-graders are allowed to wrestle on the middle school team.
Rangely Middle School sixth-grader Tytus Coombs won the 85-pound bracket and classmate Mark Mecado was third in the 100-pound bracket.
Rangely seventh-grader Lane Gillard was a runner-up in the 90-pound bracket and classmate C.J. Lucero was fourth at 95.
Sixth-grader Justin Rusher (85) and seventh-grader Devon Ramirez (110) wrestled but did not place in Hayden.
“We are a young, small team, but we have talent at every weight class,” said Derek Stolworthy, who, along with Jeff LeBleu, coaches the team. “I am very proud of this group of wrestlers for their hard work inside the practice room and their tenacity at the Hayden tournament.”
Rangely will wrestle in Steamboat Springs on Saturday.
