Wrestling Roundup: Class A state rankings feature five locals

The Ronan Chiefs fell out of the top 10 team standings in the Class A high school wrestling coaches poll compiled by Sidney head coach Guy Melby that was released last week. The Chiefs swept Corvallis and Hamilton at home Friday, then were swept by Whitefish and Columbia Falls on Saturday at Whitefish.

The poll’s individual rankings include five Lake County wrestlers. Polson’s Ryley Knutson is ranked second at 103 pounds. Knutson lost by fall to No. 1 Landen Stewart of Frenchtown on Saturday, in a potential state tournament preview. Fellow Pirate Mayson Cowell is fifth at 126 pounds.

Ronan has three wrestlers ranked. Beaudan Decker is No. 5 at 132 pounds, Daniel Collens Bishop is No. 6 at 170 and Thristen Fisher is No. 5 at 182.

The Chiefs and Pirates will meet Friday at Polson in one of their final tune-ups before the divisional tournament Feb. 26-27 at Libby.
