Pair of upsets helpJCC claim thirdplace for secondstraight season

place dual, JCC eraseda 25-9 deficit with sixstraight wins to beat thesecond-seeded Hornets40-31.

The Huskies finish theseason with a record of23-8 and place at state forthe sixth straight season.

Huskies rally for thirdJCC trailed 25-9 af-

ter seven of 14 matchesagainst Frazee, but thenwent to work.

Luke Pygman started a

string of six straight winswith a 4-2 victory at 152pounds, pulling JCC with-in 13 points on the teamscoreboard.

Pygman used takedownsin the first and third peri-ods to beat Isaac Schermer-horn and give the Huskiessome momentum.

The next two matcheswent quickly, as Paden

Moore pinned Tan-ner Bachmann in 31seconds and LukeNorland stuck Cal-

vin Streeper in 47seconds.

The two pinsgot JCC with-

in a point andMatt Strom— the heroagainstLCWMearlier in

the day —won a 12-3

major decisionover Logan Wack-

er to give the Huskiesa 28-25 lead they would

never relinquish.Strom had Wacker on his

back in the first period andlooked destined for a de-

cision late in thethird, but got

a takedownand threenear-fall

points inthe f inal10 secondsto win 12-3and get a

major deci-sion and an

extra teampoint.

Keegan Moore — rankedNo. 1 at 182 pounds —bumped up to 195 to faceNo. 4 Jonah Lange.

What seemed like a goodmatchup was anything butas Moore pinned the Hor-net in just 14 seconds for a34-25 Husky lead.

That meant a win by Jus-tin Tirevold at 220 wouldgive JCC the victory, andthat’s just what happened.

Tirevold, who has beenin and out of the lineuplately with a

shoulder in- jury, pinnedTanner Tap-per in thesecond pe-riod to sealthe win.

“ I w a s ju st go ingout there towin it,” saidTirevold,who was held out of thefirst two duals of the tour-nament because they hadbeen clinched by the timehe would’ve taken the mat.“Once I got the first take-down, I was like, ‘I got thisguy.’”

Tirevold led 2-0 after thefirst period and then gotthe pin 35 seconds into thesecond period.

Not bad for someone whowas scheduled to have sur-gery Monday.

“I have two torn la-brums,” Tirevold said.“One in my right shoulderand one in my left shoul-der. They’re going to dosurgery Monday. It’s notgoing to get any worse; it’scompletely torn.”

“Justin Tirevold, the onlymatch he got up here, hekind of put the icing on itfor us,” JCC head coachRandy Baker said. “Thatwas really big.”

Frazee got a pin at heavy-weight for the 40-31 final.

The Hornets started thedual with a major decision,but Jacob Tvinnereim got apin at 113 to give the Hus-kies a 6-4 lead.

Two Hornet pins putFrazee up 16-6 before

Dalton Wagner won a bigmatch at 132 pounds.

Seventh-ranked Wagnercontrolled No. 4 ByronByer all match, winning6-3 on the strength of threetakedowns.

The Hornets won thenext two matches to lead25-9 before the Huskiesrallied.

‘We were underestimated’T he Hus k ie s we r e

ranked ninth in the fi-nal Class A

team pollb y T h eGuillotineand seededfifth for thestate tour-nament.

Finish-ing third,Wagnersaid, wasrewarding.

“It feels good,” he said.“We were underestimat-ed.”

“I think it just provesthat we can overcome ad-versity and prove everyoneelse wrong,” Tirevold said.

“It was pretty awesome,”

Baker said. “It was an up-hill battle all year. We’vegot some real studs on theteam, but we’ve got somekids that didn’t come outuntil they were in eighth,ninth grade. We’ve beengetting better all year, Ithought, but we’ve been go-ing down in the rankings.”

Vikings dominateAfter an emotional win

over LCWM to open thetournament, the Huskieswere brought back downto earth in a hurry by top-seeded Minneota.

The Vikings won the firsteight matches to lead 37-0and beat the Huskies 49-23.

Minneota got three pinsand a technical fall duringthe hot start, which finallyended when Paden Moorewon a technical fall at 160pounds.

Norland followed with apin at 170, but the Vikingsgot a fall at 182 to lead

43-11.Keegan Moore (195) and

Nathan Horn (285) got pinslate for JCC.

Huskies win thrillerStrom’s third win of the

season couldn’t have comeat a better time for theHuskies.

Strom, who was 2-7 en-tering the state tournamentand didn’t even go out forwrestling until January,got a pin at 195 poundsto clinch an upset over

fourth-seeded LCWM inthe state quarterfinals.

Strom got an early take-down on Ari Harnitz, buttrailed 6-2 going into thethird period. Strom earnedan escape to start the pe-riod and then went to work.

He got Harnitz in a head-lock and put the Knight onhis back midway throughthe period.

“His head popped up andI saw it and went for the op-portunity and it worked outfor me,” Strom said.

After squeezing tight,Strom got the pin with 30seconds left in the match.

“Yesterday, I spent the

whole day practicing head-locks and other moves,”Strom said. “When I sawthe opportunity, I just tookit. It was really quite amaz-ing.”

After the referee’s handhit the mat, the JCC crowdwent nuts and Strom got tosee it all.

“It was the greatest feel-ing,” he said. “I turnedaround to see the wholecrowd going crazy. It wasamazing.”

“It was huge for him,”Baker said of Strom. “Hewas thanking us for lettinghim be a part of it. We wantguys out. If guys come outand thank us, that’s pretty

cool.”Baker said he thinks

Strom is around for goodnow.

“We hope we’ve hookedhim now,” Baker said.

Strom’s win put theHuskies up by 13 points

Jackson Countystate champions

For three Jackson Coun-ty Central wrestlers, the

journey to winning indi-vidual state championshipsstarted a long time ago.

For brothers Paden andKeegan Moore, it startedlong ago when the two —along with older brother,Cooper — faced off in theirparents’ basement.

For senior Luke Norland,the fire really started burn-ing five years ago.

Their dreams came toreality as all three wonindividual state champion-ships at the Xcel EnergyCenter last Saturday, all

within a span of about 15minutes.Senior Paden Moore

capped a 46-1 seasonby winning the Class A160-pound state champion-ship — his first individualtitle. Next on the mat wasNorland (45-2), who wonthe 170-pound title for hisfirst state championship.Last was junior KeeganMoore, who won his secondstraight title, this one at182 pounds.

Doing it together made itall that much better, Nor-land said.

“It’s amazing,” he said.“It’s so nice to win it withtwo close friends and train-

ing partners. We finally gotto reach that goal of ours.”

‘One of the best moments of my life’Paden Moore, Luke Norland and Keegan Moore all win individual state championships

Sports Editor

This year, Moore wasn’tabout to let a gold medal

slip away.“The last two years, I

have had a failure here, so just knowing that I havefinally got what I’ve beenworking for for so long isreally awesome,” he said.“All the hard work has paidoff. I still have stuff to workfor and other goals, but thiswas my major goal. This iswhat I most wanted to ac-complish.”

Moore was quick to giveglory to God after his firststate championship.

“It meansa lot, but Iknow thereare moreimportant

things thatGod is call-ing me todo,” he said.“I’m reallystrong in myfaith. He’sthe one whohas armedme with theabil i ty tocompete and all my weap-ons.”

Moore’s tournament be-gan with a 14-5 win in thefirst round last Fridaymorning. In the quarter-finals, top-ranked Moorefaced No. 2 TedAndroli of Ken-

yon-Wanamingo.Moore led An-droli 2-1 after thefirst period andbuilt his lead to5-1 before anAndroli escapeled to the finalscore of 5-2.

MooredominatedNo. 4 NoahLandrusof Ait-kin

8-1 in the semifinals beforebeating No. 5 Brad Kroll

of Royalton/Upsala 8-3 inthe finals.

Moore got a takedown inthe first period and anoth-er in the second to help himtake a 5-3 lead. In the finalperiod, Moore worked anescape and sealed the winwith another takedown.

“I just wanted to go outthere and do my stuff,” hesaid. “Continue to domi-nate on my feet. I was alittle nervous — I probablywrestled pretty conserva-tive — but I still dominat-

ed.”

Norlandtops Carl-son, wins

first titleEnter-

i n g t h e170-poundtourna-ment, Nor-land knewexactly whohe had tobeat to wina state title.

Norland was ranked No.2 all season, just behindZachary Carlson of Kerk-hoven-Murdock-Sunburg.

Carlson beat Norland atstate the last two seasonsand the two were on courseto meet in the semifinals.

That’s exactly what

happened after Norlandopened the tournamentwith a pin in the firstround and 9-1 win overNo. 6 Dalton Elliot of LakeCrystal-Wellcome Memo-rial in the quarterfinals.Then came Carlson.His freshman season,

Norland lost by one point inthe semifinals. As a sopho-

more, Norlandlost 4-2 on

a l a s t -secondtake-downtoCarlsonin t he

quar-

ter-fi-

nals. Last year, Carlsonwon 11-5 to finish third.

All three losses — espe-cially the two to Carlson— provided motivation forSaturday morning’s show-down.

“Coming so close whenI was a freshman, I was sohungry for my sophomoreyear, I was so hungry formy junior year,” Norlandsaid.

Saturday’s matchup wasone of the best matches ofthe tournament and wasn’tdecided until the two tan-gled for eight-and-a-halfminutes.

Norlandnearly hada takedownin the first

period, butCarlsoncounteredand eventu-ally got thetakedown.Norland es-caped withone secondleft in the period to trail2-1.

“I got in on a shot andmaybe didn’t get in as deepas I wanted to,” Norlandsaid. “He countered it. Iwas half-a-second fromscoring on him, but hescored on it.”

Norland started in thebottom position in the sec-

ond period and escapedto tie the match. Carlsonstarted down in the thirdand escaped for a 3-2 lead.

As much as Norlandtried to take Carlson down,he wasn’t able to — butthere was a reason for it.

Carlson was called fortwo stalling calls in theperiod, the second givingNorland one point to tiethe match.

That forced a one-min-ute sudden death overtime,which neither wrestlerscored in. Following weretwo 30-second periods,with each wrestler start-ing in the bottom position.Again, neither scored.

That brought one final30-second period, withNorland starting on top.

The goal was simple:Keep Carlson from escap-ing and get the win.

“He went down and Iknew I could ride him out,”Norland said. “I was in waybetter shape than he was.He was absolutely dead. Iknew what I had to do.”

Norland rode out Carl-son and clapped hishands together in hisfirst real show of emo-tion all tournament.

“Just knowingthat was my maincompetition, once Igot him, it was awe-

some,” Norland said.“He was rankedahead of me all yearlong. I knew I wasbetter than him. I

“I was just happy,” Nor-land said. “I don’t know

if I would call it a weightlifted off my back. It’s justawesomeness. It’s almostindescribable.”

No. 1 Keegan Mooredominates for title No. 2

There was little doubtKeegan Moore would winthe 182-pound state cham-pionship. The junior domi-nated all season and wentunbeaten for the secondstraight winter.

But that didn’t meanMoore overlooked anyone

who steppedon the matwith him.

“ I s t i l llook at ev-

ery oppo-n e n t t h esame,” hesaid. “I don’twant to takeanyone forgrantedbecauseyou’re al-

ways in the match.”Moore got a pin in 24 sec-

onds in the first round andthen won a 22-7 technicalfall over No. 6 Kyle Langeof Royalton/Upsala in thequarterfinals.

Moore stuck No. 9 Antho-ny Wendlandt of Paynes-ville Area in one minute,25 seconds in the semifi-

nals and then made quickwork of his championshipopponent.

In the finals, Moorepinned No. 10 Jake Went-zlaff of Sibley East in just32 seconds.

“I got my double under-hook,” Moore said. “I’m re-ally good at the underhookposition. I felt his body bea little loose and when Ifeel that, I’m going to stepin front and toss him overmy hip and it worked outgreat for me.”

Moore, who is rankedthird in the country at 182pounds, said being able torepeat as a state championis a good accomplishment,

but he has his sights set oneven bigger goals.

“It feels great,” he said.“It feels good knowingyou’re still on top. But I’mdefinitely still hungry. I’mgoing to try and get my No.1 spot in the country andstart trying to make someWorld teams.”

The pressure of going forhis third state champion-ship next year won’t wearon Moore, he said.

“I do feel pressure, butI’m a guy that loves thepressure,” he said. “I don’trun from it. I enjoy it andembrace it.”

Three for three

While the three Huskieswere three-for-three Sat-urday, it also meant thethree Moore brothers werethree-for-three as statechampions.

Cooper Moore won twotitles for the Huskies andwatched as his two youngerbrothers won Saturday.

“I was nervous,” Coopersaid. “I just wanted themto win so bad and get theirstate title. Even thoughthey’re heavily favored inall their matches, there’sstill that ‘what if?’ But theyhandled it well; they gotwhat they deserved.”

The finals reminded Coo-

per Moore of when allthree were youngsters.“It goes back to wrestling

in the basement when wewere little kids, pretendingwe were wrestling for state

titles,” he said. “We’vebeen doing it ever since we

were little.”There might be a few

more matches set up inthe basement after Cooper,who is a sophomore wres-tling at the University ofNorthern Iowa, said he stillhas the upper hand on hisyounger brothers.

“I can still handle them,”he said. “I’ll go pin themright now.”

In it togetherAll three of this year’s

state champions said thegoal wouldn’t have hap-pened without each other— and that’s what made itso special.

“It’s amazing,” Norland

said. “We pushed eachother for it. When we havesuccess, each other playsa huge part in that. Theymake me who I am as awrestler. Paden, Keegan,they make me better. Forall three of us to reach ourgoal at the end of the sea-son, it’s just special.”

For Paden Moore, theexperience was a complete180 from that of last yearwhen he and Norland leftwith unfinished business.

“It’s completely oppositefrom last year,” he said.“Me and Luke both knewwe were going to comeback here and we were go-

ing to win state titles andwe trained that way. Wewere just going to outworkeveryone and we did. It’sprobably one of the bestmoments of my life. I willalways remember this mo-ment.”

For Keegan Moore, eventhough he was first lastyear, it didn’t feel as goodknowing his brother wasn’ta champion as well.

“Knowing a guy likethat, he worked so hard,”Keegan said. “Just seeinghim all the years not getwhat he wants, it breaksmy heart because I knowhe should’ve been the onegetting the gold. The guy

works so hard; he’s earnedit. Honestly, him winning

just had to go out andprove it.”

But Norland knew his workwasn’t done. He still had to beatGage Thom of St. Clair/MankatoLoyola in the finals.

“The job wasn’t finished atall,” Norland said. “It’s the statefinals. I had never wrestled in thestate finals before. When I wasin seventh grade, I came up hereand watched Cooper Moore andBronson Steuber win state titles,wearing the Husky silver, RandyBaker in their corner. I decided that

day, I wanted to do that. That’s beenmy goal for an extremely long time.That was always on my mind.”

That goal became reality witha 13-6 win over Thom in thefinals.

“THE LAST TWO

YEARS, I HAVE HAD

A FAILURE HERE,

SO JUST KNOWING

THAT I HAVE FINALLY

GOT WHAT I’VE BEEN

WORKING FOR FOR

SO LONG IS REALLY

AWESOME.”

Paden Moore

“HE WAS RANKED

AHEAD OF ME ALL

YEAR LONG. I KNEW

I WAS BETTER THAN

HIM. I JUST HAD

TO GO OUT AND

PROVE IT.”

his state title almost feelsbetter than me winningmy own.”

And the same goes forNorland, Keegan said.

“Luke, it’s pretty muchthe same exact story,” hesaid. “He’s one of my clos-est friends. The feeling isthe same. I just wanted to

win it with them.”And win

they did.“ I t was

great,”KeeganMoore said.“We kneww e w e r ecapable ofcompetingat the top.To see us fi-nally do thatand reach some of ourgoals, that was fantastic.”

Tvinnereim earnsall-state honors

Freshman Jacob Tvin-nereim finished sixth at

113 pounds to earn all-statehonors.

Tvinnereim, ranked sev-enth, lost to No. 5 Tren-ton Coyer of Osakis 11-2in the first round Fridaymorning, but then won twostraight matches to clinch aspot on the podium.

In the first round ofwrestlebacks Friday night,Tvinnereim won a 5-1 deci-sion over Kaden Spindlerof Border West, using apair of takedowns and anescape to win.

Saturday morning, Tvin-nereim edged sixth-rankedWillie Meine of Fertile-Beltrami 3-1.

Tvinnereim got a take-down with five seconds leftin the first period, whichproved to be the differenceafter each wrestler workedan escape after starting a

period in the bottom posi-tion.

“I knew Icould beatthe guy,”Tvinne-reim saidof his winover No. 6Meine. “I

just wantedto do it soI could geton the po-

dium.”The win guaranteed

Tvinnereim a medal andall-state honors by finish-ing in the top six.

In the consolation semi-finals, Tvinnereim gave up

two near-fall points in thethird period of a 2-0 loss toNo. 4 Rylan Molinaro of At-water-Cosmos-Grove City.

In the match for fifth,Tvinnereim again facedCoyer. The second matchwas much closer, but Tvin-neriem’s last-second take-down attempt failed in a3-2 loss.

Tvinnereim lost to run-ner-up Tanner Pasvogel ofSibley East by one pointearlier this season, lostby two to Molinaro (who

CHAMPS: ‘Tat was fantastic’Continued from C2

finished fourth) and one toCoyer the second matchup,so Tvinnereim said, whilehe met his goal of winninga medal, he knows he isclose to moving up evenhigher on the podium inthe future.

“I think I could’ve donea little better if I would’ve

wrestled a little differentlyin a few spots,” he said.

Two others competeS o p h o m o r e R y k e r

VanderWoude went 2-2 at132 pounds and freshmanDalton Wagner was 0-1at 126. Neither wrestlerplaced.

VanderWoude beat Ke-aton Long of West CentralArea/Ashby/Evansville 8-3in the first round, but thenlost a 17-2 technical fallto No. 2 Blane Tschida ofKimball Area in the quar-terfinals.

In wrestlebacks, Vander-Woude won 6-4 over An-drew Tomala of Pierz, but

got pinned the next matchby Nicholas Meyer of KMSto finish one win short ofthe medal stand.

Wagner, ranked sev-enth, lost 11-4 to No. 6 LeviMarsh of Lake Crystal-Wellcome Memorial in thefirst round. The two metin the team tournament,with Wagner winning inovertime.

Marsh lost in the quar-terfinals, meaning Wag-ner wasn’t able to enterwrestlebacks.

Class A state quarternals

with just two matches left,clinching the win for JCC.

As thrilling as Strom’swin was, the start by theHuskies was just as good.

Justin Heckard beatCaleb Clobes 7-4 at 106pounds, getting revengefor a pin by Clobes whenthe teams met earlier thisseason.

Heckard trailed 4-3 inthe third before getting areversal and two near-fallpoints to top the LCWMfreshman.

Baker said the wins byStrom to seal it and Heck-ard to start it were thebiggest reasons the Hus-kies were able to beat theKnights after losing tothem 44-25 earlier thisseason.

“We had a couple thingschange,” he said. “One wasJustin Heckard pulled out
