On Thursday December 18th the Broncs headed to Lead- Deadwood High School for what was originally scheduled as a duel, unfortunately due to the inclement weather the area endured, Custer had to withdraw making the triangular a dual.
The Broncs won over Lead-Deadwood 52-6. There were many open weight classes and forfeits on the roster with only 3 matches wrestled for the boys at 106, 113 and 157. Jaxon Lynch, Caden Swaney and Kolby Tibbs all winning their matches.
The Lady Broncs had 2 matches, Lia Mundt at 120lbs came up short in her match while Charlie Huston won hers at 105lbs.
The Broncs travelled to Madison on Saturday December 20th for a tournament with some of the team out for illness and injury, they still had a good day on the mats with 3 Broncs making the podium.
Caden Swaney placed 3rd at 106lbs with an avenged win over the competition he lost to at the Rapid City tournament, while Cooper Conrey placed 5th at 126lbs.
For the Lady Broncs, Kyra Vandenberg placed 2nd at 100lbs.
The Madison tournament provides some competition the Broncs only see once per season, allowing for some variety in matches.
The team held their final practice on Monday December 22nd before the mandatory moratorium or “lockout” for the holiday season.
Coach Cory & Coach Nate had some fun challenges and games for them at this practice including tic tac bow and blind snowman drawing on plates atop their heads as well as some fun workout games.
The Broncs will be back in action on Tuesday December 30th for a tournament in Harding County.
