Pierre Wrestling in Mandan to Begin Season

The Pierre Governor wrestling teams will be in action for the first time this season as they travel to Mandan, North Dakota for a tournament tonight and Saturday.

Both the Governor boys and girls team will have a lot depth when healthy this year and the early season tournament in Mandan is always a tough but effective tournament to compete. North Dakota has a week up on the South Dakota teams with practice. Head coach of the Pierre boys wrestling team, Shawn Lewis, says the wrestlers are chomping at the bit to get going…

Going to Mandan and seeing plenty of North Dakota teams, and while they will see some again throughout the year, Lewis says it’s a low pressure situation…

Lewis says he wants to see a lot guys get their hands raised this weekend…

Both the boys and girls are competing in the tournament. The tournament begins at 3:30 on Friday and runs through Saturday.
