The Luverne wrestling team traveled to Jackson Thursday, Feb. 16, for the first round of the Section 3A Team Tournament.
The ninth-seeded Cardinals took on No. 8 Wabasso in the first match of the night, and the winner of that contest faced No. 1 seeded Jackson County Central in the second match.
Luverne’s match with Wabasso was close but not good enough to beat the Rabbits who won 42-30 pinning five LHS wrestlers, winning two matches by decision and one by forfeit.
Luverne took six matches, one win by pin, two by decision and three by forfeits by Wabasso.
The Cardinals closed their season with a 11-16 record.
