It’s been a tough couple of duals for the Bulldogs.
On Tuesday the team traveled to Ronan to face off against the host and Hamilton, then on Thursday Whitefish hosted Libby, Hamilton and Frenchtown.
However, the Bulldogs couldn’t eek out a victory.
Things were close against Libby/Troy, who defeated the Dogs 40-36.
The Loggers’ Tucker Masters won by major decision over Robert Bertlesen at 170. All of Whitefish’s wins came from Libby forfeits.
Nathan Sproul (103), Noah Cooke (126), Leroy Orel (132) and Brian Sweeney (285) all earned pins against Hamilton.
Earlier in the week, Jackson Carson pinned Hamilton’s Logan Bratch and Noah Cooke pinned the Broncs’ Tristen Wiedow.
On Saturday the team traveled to Eureka for the Buzz Lucey Tournament after presstime.
Whitefish will compete again at the Cut Bank Tournament on Jan. 4
