Observations all along the line - Kimball & the Southern Panhandle First
Youth wrestling is again in full swing and Kimball has two young ladies hitting the mats this year.
The team recently competed at the War of the Roses, Battle of the Thorns event in Colorado.
Sierra (Starr) Boviall led the recent Elementary folkstyle contest for youth in grades 3-5.
Boviall placed first and scored 16 points for the Tri-State Grapplers.
In round one she won by fall over Bralynn Arroyo from RATTLERS Athletics in just 22 seconds.
Boviall followed that quick pin up with a second round pin in 57 seconds over Alejandra Rodriguez, wrestling for the Husker Elite team.
With building momentum, Boviall was nearly impossible to beat and her third round was the quickest, when she pinned Lily Trudeau of the Mile High Wrestling team in just eight seconds.
Joining Boviall on the mats was Kimball’s Emalee Goodwin, wrestling in the Middle School folkstyle 125-142 range.
Goodwin, new to the sport placed fourth. She put up a good fight in the beginning but suffered a first round loss by fall to Dezirea Martinez (High Elevation Wrestling) in 1:42.
In the second round Brianna Dominguez with RATTLERS Athletics, won by fall over Goodwin in 20 seconds.
Goodwin’s day ended with a third round fall to Elizabeth Pearson, wrestling for the Husker Elite team, in just 58 seconds.
Coaches Jay and Ashley Thurin are looking forward to the new season and said that many of their athletes are already doing an outstanding job.
