The F/MCC Warriors traveled to Brandon SD to wrestle in a 19 team individual tournament. The Warriors were supposed to have 6 wrestlers participate in the tournament, but 2 of them fell sick at the end of last week and were unable to wrestle. The four wrestlers that participated were; Dawson Blankenship, Danny Blankenship, Ryder Henning and Rylan Behnke.
Dawson took the mat at 106# and first wrestled Tucker Bahm from Yankton. Dawson was taken down in the first period and put to his back, Dawson never gave up and wrestled the full 6 minutes against Tucker losing to him by the score of 9-2. Dawson collected a bye the next round and then wrestled Nate Sprenkle. Dawson gave up a takedown right at the end of the 1st period and then escaped the second period to make the score 2-1 for his opponent. Dawson let his opponent up the third period to make the score 3-1. Dawson tried the whole third period to take his opponent down, but he was unable to accomplish the task. Dawson lost 3-1 and was done for the day.
