The region 3 dual wrestling tournament takes place tomorrow in Rugby. andamp;lt;a href=andamp;quot;http://www.kxnet.com/t/minot-ryan-high-schoolandamp;quot; class=andamp;quot;kxInlineLinkandamp;quot;andamp;gt;Minot Ryanandamp;lt;/aandamp;gt; comes in as the 5th seed and will meet up with the host team Panthers in the opening round. The teams did meet earlier in the season with the Panthers coming out on top and although Lions feel they're improved, they know they'll have to wrestle well to get by the Panthers (Chase Lee, Ryan wrestling coach) I mean we haven't seen a whole lot of Rugby this year. It would be good for most of the kids like I said we we've only wrestled them once. They'll see a little bit of region competition before the weekend of individual regionals which will help us carry into the next one. I've seen a lot of improvement out of our kids over the year. It'll be interesting with this regional tournament coming up in a couple of weeks I mean we'll be seeing kids that we've been battling back and forth with and just to see how things play out and how many we can get to go. (David Gregory, junior) I think we've improved from the beginning of the year until now. I think we can compete with everybody. (Josh Bartsch, junior) We have some pretty good guys and guys that have gotten better that weren't so good at the beginning. I think we're a little bit better. The top 2 teams from each region qualify for the state dual tournament.  « Less
