MISSOULA -- After a long two days of wrestling the Jug Beck Rocky Mountain Classic concluded on Saturday with the championship rounds.
Coming into the tournament, eight wrestlers who won this tournament last year were looking to repeat. At the end of the final matches on Saturday only three of those eight wrestlers repeated as champs. Lewistown's Cooper Birdwell, Great Falls' Elijah Davis and Ethan DeRoche were the only three to accomplish that.
In the team scores, Great Falls (213.0) edged out Flathead (198.0) by 15 points. Mead (180.0), Butte (148.0), and Missoula Big Sky-Loyola (144.0) rounded out the top five.
