Last week dozens of girls from all over southeast Idaho gathered at Grace High School to participate in the Black Canyon Brawl wrestling tournament. The Black Canyon Brawl is a fairly new tournament for girls wrestling that has grown each year of its existence. Among the ever growing number of girls participating in the sport were several girls from Soda Springs and Grace. Not only did several locals take part in the tournament but they saw great success with many of them placing in their weight class.
For the Lady Cardinals Taylor Hirsbrunner, KaCey Neuendorf, Alexandra Sturges, and Laryah Dilworth all wrestled. Hirsbrunner, Neuendorf, and Sturges all placed fourth in their respective brackets.
The Lady Grizzlies impressed even more with their group of girls. The Grizzlies had Valeria Chavez, Alyssa Kendall, Hayden Ball, Kallie Hulse, Bella Eddins, Holland Ball, Giulia Succetti, Josie Newby and Skyla Cloud all participate in the tournament. Of the nine Grizzly wrestlers seven of them placed in the top four in their individual brackets. As a result the Lady Grizzlies took home the top spot in the team competition.
The sport of girls wrestling will undoubtedly continue to grow and is proving very successful here in Caribou County.
