Kahle Finishes No. 2 in Class D, Inderlied No. 6

On Saturday, Dorchester wrestling claimed its state first runner-up since the late 1980s when senior Adam Kahle brought home the silver medal in Class D's 145 lb. class. Meanwhile, junior Jeremy Inderlied scored a sixth place finish in the 119 lb. division.

Overall, the Longhorns finished 14th in the Class D team scoring. All but one of this year's state qualifiers will return for the 2010-11 season.

In the 145 lb. championship, Paul Cheyney of Stanton defeated DHS' Kahle by a 9-5 tally. Earlier in the day, Isaac Elge of Nebraska Christian defeated DHS' Inderlied by an even narrower margin, 9-7, in the 119 lb. fifth place match.

DHS' Russell Barak bowed out of the tourney after losing a heartbreaker, 5-4, against Dylan Heithoff, Elgin Public/Pope John, in the consolation quarterfinals. In second round consolation action, Longhorn junior Sid Stern lost an overtime match, 8-6, to Friend grappler Josh Eklund, while Scott Kester, Neligh-Oakdale, pinned DHS sophomore Brandon Schwisow. DHS youngsters Jordan Jensen and Alex Lisec both lost in the first round consolation bracket.

We tip our DHS hats this year's Longhorn wrestling team for a job well done and look forward to next year's success.

  4. Good job wrestlers. By the way, has anyone ever looked at the football records that are up at DPS? I know of a few performances that happened that were bigger than the "records" that are posted. Anyone else ever notice this?
