“I was ready to get that state title finally,” Nadau said, after finishing runner-up the last three years. The Braves’ lone individual champion was senior Fin Nadau, who won a 5-3 decision over Big Sky’s Izzy Moreno at 145 pounds. Fin Nadeau competes in the state wrestling tournament in Billings on Feb. “We had a great placing round to get us the points we needed to just be able to sit back and actually enjoy the finals,” Thompson said. With a typically strong performance in the consolation rounds and with five wrestlers into the finals, the Braves stretched out their lead enough to hold off the Broncs 289-270, a slightly more comfortable margin than last year’s 247-239.5 last match victory. This team seemed to really thrive under the pressure and we had some amazing highs but also come challenging lows.”Īfter the first day of competition, Flathead held a 164-151 lead over Billings Senior, last year’s runner-up. “State was the like the ultimate adrenaline ride. “I would be lying if I told you we were not feeling the pressure this year at state due to such a great regular season,” said Flathead head wrestling coach Jeff Thompson. The boys title is the fourth for Flathead in the last six years, which included back-to-back wins in 20 as well, and the program’s 11th overall. For the second year in a row, the Flathead Brawlers swept the Class AA boys and all-class girls state wrestling titles.
