Little Guys Wrestling and the Broadwater School District opened their doors Saturday, February 17th in conjunction with the Helena Bearcats hosting an astounding 422 wrestlers from 7 teams.
Your Little Guys Bulldogs are dominating the mats with a total of 80 wrestlers this season. Practices are broken up into two groups in the wrestling room with approximately 17 volunteer assistant coaches. When asked how he liked being the new head coach, Tony Michaelson’s reply was “It’s busy!”.
Tommy Easter, who stepped down as head coach this season is sticking it out as assistant coach for at least this year. “He’s getting the hang of things,” Tommy said, referring to Tony. After 4 years as head coach and 13 years overall coaching, Easter said he’s ready to sit up in the stands and experience wrestling from a different view, a parent's view.
Townsend Little Guys had a total of 54 placers this weekend and took second in overall team scores. With 14 1st placers; 16 2nd placers; 14 3rd placers; 10 4th placers.
