Joey Bullerman was second at 119, Tony Sauer second at 152 and Cody Reverts at 171."It was one of the best lineups we’ve put out there all year," Coach Gregg Nelson said. "It showed in the tournament. I thought we might have a little more trouble because I didn’t know what some of the other teams had. But we kind of took care of the tournament pretty well."He said getting Reverts down to 171 makes the team stronger.
