HELENA — The Kalispell Flathead boys and girls wrestling teams swept Western AA divisional wrestling team titles Saturday at the Helena Capital gym.

Flathead's boys scored 304.5 points to defeat second-place Butte (265 points) and third-place Missoula Sentinel (189.5). The Braves had six individual champions as they chase a state title next week in Billings.

The Flathead girls won the team championship with 297 total points. Butte finished second with 223 and Helena Capital came in third with 129 points. The Bravettes had just one individual titlist — Lucille Libby at 235 pounds — but also had six second-place finishers.
