The Minnesota State Wrestling Tournament isn’t necessarily magical to start in the first few rounds, to simply be a spectator, but as you near the finals there’s a chill in the air, as you start to see hopefuls fall in matches. There’s also a thrill in the air as you see unexpected wins, upsets, and meaningful losses. The Grand Casino Arena in St. Paul seems like a huge venue at first, especially if you used chat GPT to find out what door to go in, then you have to walk around the stadium from gate 4 to gate 1 wondering if you might be lost. Upon entering, there’s a familiarity because its very much like every other tournament. Although smaller than Fargo, there are way more spectators. The Warrior wrestling family communicates where they are sitting, as coach Henning told them which of the 8 mats we might be wrestling on.

Friday night the Rebels played the Hills Beaver Creek Patriots, the team that beat the Rebels twice in the regular season and went undefeated in the Red Rock Conference. The Rebels played a terrific defensive game and led the majority of the game. In the end it wouldn’t be enough.
