ST. JOSEPH - Last Monday, the St. Joseph-Ogden wrestling team rolled past visiting Bismarck-Henning-Rossville-Alvin with a 62-16 victory. The last time the Spartans hosted the Blue Devils at home in 2023, it was a different story.

This time, SJO prevailed in five of the seven contested weight classes. The Blue Devils forfeited five weight classes, while the Spartans gave up points at 132 in the nonconference dual meet with a forfeit.

Camden Getty got things started for SJO with a 37-second pin over BHRA's Dylen Toeller in the 120-pound match. Wrestling at 144, Landen Butts also pinned his opponent, securing a win over Caleb Hamilton at 2:07 and giving the Spartans a 30-10 lead. Barely giving Blue Devil Dalyn Topp a chance to react, SJO's Thomas Ware ended their match with a 34-second pin, earning six team points.

Later, Spartan Alex Vaughn notched a technical fall over BHRA's Collin Hardin for the team's fourth win at 157.

In the only bout to go the distance, SJO's Chaz Bowlin pulled out a narrow 6-5 victory over BHRA's Ricky Smith at 190 pounds.

Bismarck-Henning secured wins at 138 from Landen Toeller and at 215 from Landynn Balla.
