BRONSON, MI (WTVB) – It’s time to make some more room in the trophy cases at Bronson Junior/Senior High School, as the Vikings won an MHSAA Division 3 Team Wrestling District championship Wednesday night.
Bronson defeated Pennfield 48-33 in their semifinal match and took out Hillsdale 42-31 in the District Final. Layne Knisely earned his 125th career victory in his bout against Pennfield’s Mike Samson. Knisely, Gabriel Erwin, Conner Harvey, Sam Tappenden, James Shutts, Conner McClelland, and Caleb Harvey each went 2-0 on the night for the Vikings, while Jyles Miner won against Pennfield and Brycen Fincham picked up a win against Hillsdale.
The Hornets advanced to the Distirct Final by defeating a very shorthanded Quincy squad 71-6. The Orioles only had four wrestlers competing on the night, with Evan Yeakey getting the team’s lone victory.
Bronson advances to take on the winner of Thursday’s Laingsburg District next Wednesday in a Division 3 Team Regional Semifinal, site and time to be announced.
