BILLINGS — It’s one of the biggest high school sports weekends on the calendar, and it’s underway in Billings.
Wrestling’s parade of athletes sparked Day 2 of Montana’s all-class state tournaments Friday morning inside First Interstate Arena at MetraPark. Teams and athletes from every corner of Big Sky Country took center stage with over 1,000 athletes combined between boys and girls — some wrestlers riding high on the shoulders of teammates; others carrying the load and the team logos.
