KENT WON THE DISTRICT WRESTLING TOURNAMENT

Kent wrestled Jed Ferguson, from Parma, for 1st place. Kent has wrestled him 3 times this year. Once at the Magic Valley Tournament. Kent won by 2 points at that tournament. He wrestled him again at the Border Brawl Dual in Parma. Jed won that one. And again today they faced off. The only losses Jed has had all year is to Kent. So we knew that it was going to be an exciting match. We just didnt know how exciting! They were tied up 2-2 with seconds left in the match. Kent was on the bottom. All he needed was to get his escape and gain 1 point and he would win. Kent got to his feet but Jed had Kents head pinned into his chest. All Kent had to do was get his head free and he would win. The crowd was up on their feet and screaming. Kent pulled his head free and won the match with 1 second left!!!!
Kent will be competing at the State Wrestling Tournament in Pocotello next Friday and Saturday. He is ranked 2nd now in the State for A2 schools at 160 pounds.
