This was attributed to a complete team effort which saw, 10 Pioneers place in the Top 6, with 8 of those Pioneers placing in the Top 4, which qualifies them to compete in the State Tournament on February 24-25.
Sitting atop the medal stand was Ky Corley (119), Lance Thompson (140), and Jeff Slaughter (145), while Chad Ravannack (125), Chris Perry (160), and Walker Clarke (171) collected runner-up finishes.
