The Faribault Falcons dominated the competition at the six team Hibbing Duals Tournament Friday and Saturday.  The Falcons defeated Zimmerman 49-24.  Then downed Fosston/Bagley 45-21.  Then they crushed Virginia 70-3, dominated Nashwauk-Keewatin/Greenway 70-12 and handled Hibbing 61-18.

Eight Faribault wrestlers were named to the All-Tournament team.  JT Hausen, Isaac Yetzer, DJ Saunders, Riley Stoltz, Bryce Nolen, George Soto, Josh Oathoudt and Dillon Lippert.  Those eight had a combined 40-0 record.

The Falcons are now 11-0 in dual competition. Head Coach Jesse Armbruster speculated last Saturday on the Faribault Coaches Show at Bashers that his team would be rated the next time Guillotine puts together the rankings.  That should come out this Thursday.
