FORSYTH — The defending champions are entering the state tournament red hot again.
Colstrip, which won the Class B state wrestling championship last winter in Billings, ran away with the Eastern B/C divisional championship on Saturday, securing the title with six individual champions. The Colts, which are top-ranked in the Class B wrestling polls, scored 243 points to runner-up Glasgow’s 196.
Huntley Project finished in third place with 166 team points.
Three-time state champion Jackson Currier helped lead the Colstrip program, winning the 138-pound title, a 9-1 major decision over Glasgow’s Kaden Zimmerman. Currier is one of three athletes chasing a fourth-consecutive title next weekend in Billings, joining Havre’s Martin Wilkie and Forsyth’s Michael Weber. Weber won the 152-pound championship with a fall in 24 seconds over Glasgow freshman Kyler Hallock.
Currier saw five teammates win individual titles — Rylin Burns (145 pounds), Ty Bradley (160), Cody Blaede (170), Nakoda Siegel (182) and Beau Petersen (205). Burns won via pinfall in just 40 seconds, while Siegel and Petersen also added victories by fall.
Glasgow won consecutive titles at 126 and 132 pounds, with Colten Fast and Oden Hallock, respectively, winning by decision. Zimmerman, Kyler Hallock and Dylan Nieskens each placed second for the Scotties.
Defending State C champion Circle showcased its No. 1 ranking, winning the two lightest weight classes. No. 1 Krayle Stormer pinned Shepherd’s Langdon Smith in just 35 seconds at 103 pounds, while Tugg Taylor’s pinfall at 2:38 defeated Poplar’s Jase Frederick at 113 pounds.
Trey Taylor placed runner-up at 145 pounds to help the Wildcats to 108 points, the fourth-best total in the tournament.

The top four individuals in each weight class are guaranteed berths in the state wrestling tournament, which begins next Friday at Billings’ Rimrock Auto Arena at MetraPark.
