Three Section Two Class AAA Minnesota Wrestling Teams in Top Six

Guillotine Magazine is out with their latest rankings for teams and individuals across Minnesota.  In Class AAA, the largest class, Section 2 has two teams Shakopee and Apple Valley at the top and New Prague is #6.  Also out of Section two, Lakeville South is in the lean and mean category.  Section One has Owatonna at #3, Northfield #11 and Albert Lea Area in the lean and mean listings.

Owatonna defeated Northfield in a dual meet recently and Faribault Falcon Head Coache Jesse Armbruster told us last Saturday during the KFC Faribault Coaches show he was surprised to see the score.  The Huskies won convincingly.  Faribault is in the same section with Northfield and Owatonna.
