Dye, Hendricks to represent Savages at Districts
Seven teams gathered for Sectional competition on February 2, including Sigourney as the host school with hopes of advancing several wrestlers to the following weekend. Behind the back from their home fans, the Savages were able to advance Mason Dye and Trent Hendricks to Districts, one step away from making it to the State tournament.
Sigourney had one Champion on the day with Dye (113 lbs.) taking that title. In order to do so, Dye only had to wrestle one opponent and would make it to Districts regardless if he won or not. He held a slight 2-0 lead through the first period and then increased his lead by three more points before Quinten Aney (Mediapolis) brought Dye down just out of bounds and picked up a couple points. More importantly, Dye remained down for a short time but was able to get back up and finish the match. He added another three points to his lead and finished with the 8-2 win over Aney, his third Sectional title in his three years.
Pick up this week’s Keota Eagle to read the full recap, including coach Cory VanDenHeuvel's comments.
