Scotties Claim Sixth at Cowboy Classic

The Glasgow Scotties finished sixth at the Cowboy Classic in Miles City last weekend, Jan. 10 and 11. The hometown grapplers finished behind class A and AA powerhouses Billings Skyview, Billings West, Billings Senior, Miles City and Moorcroft, Wyo. Colten Fast claimed a first-place finish in the 132 lbs weight class; Kaden Zimmerman took the number two slot on the podium with a second-place finish in the 152-weight class; Mayson Phipps claimed third place in the 285; and Dylan Nieskens took fourth in the 182.

Collectively, the team scored 130.5 points to just barely beat out Huntley Project who racked up 130 points. Huntley Project is a key rival of the Scotties going into the state wrestling tournament and was a named target for measuring up the team's standing in the year for Coach Jory Casterline following the Bozeman Invitational on Jan. 3 and 4.

Specifically, Casterline said he expected the Cowboy Classic to "give us a more realistic look at Huntley Project" than what they got in Bozeman. The fact that Glasgow came out on top bodes well for the Scotties but the narrow point margin suggests a great struggle going into the final stretches of the season.
