Boonville Pirates wrestling coach Justin Hahn knew Friday and Saturday’s Hickman Tournament was going to be a challenge for his wrestlers. While competing against teams mostly in higher classes, the Boonville wrestlers finished with three of the five who attended in the medal round and 13th overall as a team out of 24 teams.
“We still made our fair of mistakes-a few sloppy turnovers, a few missed rebounds, and a few defensive lapses-but we played well for large stretches of the game and shot it pretty well, which never hurts. It was nice to get a win after playing really poorly in our last game last Friday at Hallsville, and it was a game that scared me a little bit after our kids not physically being in school all week and after a fairly long bus trip. Jackson Johns played really well throughout the game, and we also got really good minutes from Caidyn Hazel, who scored a varsity career high eight points.”
