Polson pins Whitefish in wrestling dual
Whitefish suffered a 54-12 Northwestern A Conference duel loss to Polson on Thursday, January 16. The Bulldogs did record two pins, as did Polson, but a collection of forfeits gave the Pirates the victory.
Sam Akey won the 285-pound for Whitefish, pinning Polson’s Durai Mahkuk in 3:11. Landree Aurand also pinned his Polson foe Loui Mohr in 39 seconds for the Bulldogs’ other six points.
Whitefish had forfeits at 110, 126, 132, 138, 157, 165, and 190 - which made victory very tough for the Bulldogs.
Whitefish also wrestled at the Jug Beck Mountain Classic in Missoula over the weekend, with tough competition from AA and large schools from Washington and Idaho.
Landree Aurand recorded two victories in the 144-pound bracket, but no Whitefish wrestlers found the podium.
