Varsity boys Ryder Shelton, Daryn Langford and Jak Gist all won by falls. Eli Ashcroft won with a major decision which gave Kearney a 46-29 win.

Head Coach Jake Hill was pleased with the victory. “The biggest take away from the night was our Senior captains showed how to compete when faced with adversity. Eli and Daryn took all momentum away from Smithville and got us rolling in the right direction. Smithville is a tough opponent. We learn a lot about ourselves every time we wrestle them.”
