Hundreds of competitors flooded the mat at West Branch High School Saturday for the annual River Valley Conference championship wrestling meet. The Mid-Prairie Golden Hawks finished 10th of 14 schools with 69 points. Wilton won the team championship with 291 points, more than doubling second place Monticello. Mid-Prairie had a trio of seniors finish in third place to lead the way. Mose Yoder at 113lbs, Kaden Meader at 170lbs and Terry Bordenave at 195lbs all took third. After the meet, head coach Randy Billups talked about their performance. “That’s probably where they are at. Terry (Bordenave) lost to the Monticello kid. Mose (Yoder) probably ended up where he was seeded at. The Monticello kid that beat him is pretty tough. Kaden (Meader) wrestled strong. I was happy with their performances.”

The Hawks are now off until the Class 2A District 12 meet at Williamsburg on February 11th.
