The Mid-Prairie wrestling team took their first dual loss out of the holiday break, but look to get back to their winning ways with an important meet tonight against West Branch and West Liberty.

The Golden Hawks have seen West Liberty a couple of times in previous meets this year, but have not seen West Branch.

Head coach Justin Garvey says he recognizes the quality of the teams they wrestle tonight and that this meet will measure where the Golden Hawks sit in the conference.

“These are two well coached teams, these are two teams that traditionally have had a lot of success and have got some hard nosed wrestlers,” Garvey said. “This is going to, I’m not going to say make or break our season, but this is going to show us where we stand as far as the rest of the conference is concerned.”

Mid-Prairie travels to West Liberty for tonight’s triangular, with the first match starting at 6:00 P.M.
