“Competition today was very tough, and we rose to the occasion,” commented Fergus Falls Head Coach Adam Schlepp. “We scored well over 100 points and 9 place winners against some of the toughest Class A schools in Minnesota.”

Delvin Roberts of Fergus Falls earned his 75th career victory with his first win of the day. 

“We are extremely proud of Delvin today,” noted Schlepp.  “He has been extremely dedicated to the sport of wrestling since he could walk, so watching him earn his 75th career victory is deeply satisfying for our entire team and staff.  Delvin has worked very hard for everything he has earned on the mat.  We couldn’t be happier to see his years of hard work be rewarded.”
