The Bertha-Hewitt/Verndale/Parkers Prairie wrestling team has a good number of seniors with a lot of mat time, leading to high expectations as they enter the 2021 season.

Returning letter winners include seniors Melvin Blume, Hayden Captain, Tyler Eggert, Hunter Dean, Mason Schroeder, Brock Peterson, Aiden Larson and Jason Koehn, juniors Gauge Malone, Gideon Ervasti and Reese Thompson, sophomores Koal Plautz, Deagen Captain, Blake Sumstad, Bennet Arceneau and Justin Koen, and freshmen Abby Ervasti, Isaac Grabow, Holden Truax and David Revering.

“Our goal at present is to take it one day and one week at a time and to never waste a moment as time is too precious,” said Head Coach Bill Wagner.  “Our Conference and Section opponent will be strong, however, OTC and West Central Area are the strongest and will be a challenge to defeat.”

Junior High wrestlers looking to contribute include Cayden Kimber, Jordan Sand, Cole Motl, Dakota Motl, Adrian Arellano, Julian Willis, Braden Shamp, Evan Jares, Hunter Strom, Orran Hart and Tanner Schulke.

Wagner will be assisted by Mike Arvidson, Mike Barthel and Kody VanDenEykel.
