Saturday closed out the NIWL Fall Season with the Panhandle Championships held in Post Falls at the Courts at Real Life. Starting with our little Pre-Bantam Nixon Cole winning his first gold, to the last match for Kaleb Bogadi to claim bronze, the team had a full day of wrestling to test those skills.

Sandpoint Legacy had twelve bracket champions at the end of the day, another sixteen teammates earning medals, and two more wrestling in the finals who took 4th in their 8-man brackets. With 16 mats up and running the coaches were running too and some kids were wrestling back-to-back matches further testing their training and endurance.

Over the course of five tournaments the team definitely had its highs and lows. We were glad to see the team’s overall win percentage bounce back to the top three this weekend and it was fun to see a few kids have their best finish of the season after working so hard. Congratulations to Novice Kaleb Erickson and Middle Schooler Maxx Watson for their undefeated seasons. We hope the entire team enjoyed their time on the mat whether they competed or just practiced, won or lost – wrestling is one of the toughest sports and they should be proud for sticking it out and giving it their all.
