A busy week on the wrestling mat saw a young Boyceville “Bulldogs” go 2-4.
In its annual dual with Cadott, Boyceville was unable to parlay its home-mat advantage into a victory. With neither squad appearing to be at full strength just yet, the Hornets stung the Bulldogs 44-30 last Thursday, December 7 in the gymatorium.
Two days later, the Bulldogs were competing in the annual Devils Duals at the Chula Vista Resort in Wisconsin Dells. The 32-team, dual-style tournament was broken into a pair of 16-school brackets with Boyceville once again wrestling in the Consolation Chart where it finished 2-3 for a second straight year. The Bulldogs opened the 2023 Devils Duals with a 57-24 loss to Wilmot Union. Boyceville bounced back to win its next two duals, a 60-24 win over Fond du Lac which was followed by a 48-35 triumph against Appleton West. That put the locals in a battle for ninth place in the Consolation Chart where it took on Northwestern. Boyceville lost a close dual, falling 38-33, to finish in 10th place. Boyceville finished the December 9 tournament with a crossover match against Freedom, who took third in the Championship Chart, falling 64 to 15.
“We had some chances in our placement dual against Northwestern but didn’t take advantage,” said Boyceville head coach Jamie Olson. “It was a dual we should have won.”

“Overall, I was happy with our performance. We are extremely young, so this was a great experience for us. Wrestling a team like Freedom is an eye-opener for some of these guys. We competed hard all day and that’s all I can ask,” he added.
While the Bulldogs did not have any undefeated on the day, three wrestlers – Dallas Herdahl, Zane Pierce, and Rony Ramos – went 4-1 and looked good according to Olson. Another, Victor Pattermann, finished with a 3-2 mark.
Boyceville was also without a couple of its front line wrestlers in the upper weights. Senior heavyweight Parker Coombs and sophomore state qualifier Zach Hellendrung continued to recover from injuries. In their place, Isaiah Romero and Brock Griffin wrestled and performed admirably stated Olson.
“This is not an easy task at 215 and 285 (pounds) and Isaiah and Brock did a great job filling in,” Olson stated.
In the junior varsity tournament, Bryce Humpal went 3-0 and captured the 150 pound championship.
Overall, Boyceville wrestlers finished a combined 32-36 in the tournament.
“I’m okay with that record at this point, but going forward we need to get better at recognizing positions and capitalizing on their mistakes,” Olson noted.
Boyceville hosts Clear Lake in a dual Thursday and will go to Osceola on Saturday for an invitational.
Cadott
Still without some of its key starters due to a variety of reasons, Boyceville found itself battling from behind through the entirety of its annual match against Cadott which the Bulldogs hosted Thursday, December 7 in the gymatorium.
The Bulldogs never led in the match which the Hornets won 43-30.
Boyceville wasn’t able to string together consecutive wins until late in the competition when Jack Kurschner scored a pin at 138 pounds and Landyn Leslie followed with a 14-7 decision at 144 pounds.
Unfortunately, the Hornets had already secured the victory by that time.
Mark Knopps (190) and Rony Ramos (126) also had pins for the Bulldogs.

Devils Duals
Freedom
Boyceville had a tough drew to open this year’s Devils Duals in Wisconsin Dells.
The Bulldogs drew Freedom in the round of 32 to get the 2023 tournament underway. Freedom eventually finished third in the Championship Chart.
Boyceville started well, winning the first three matches as Dallas Herdahl won a 4-1 decision at 106 pounds, and Zane Pierce and Rony Ramos each registered pins at 113 and 120 pounds, respectively.
Unfortunately, the Bulldogs would not win another match as Freedom claimed the final 11 matches – nine by falls, another via a major decision and the final one via a forfeit at 285 pounds – to win 64-15.

Landyn Leslie earned a pin at 144 and Alex Obermueller a forfeit at 150 to cut Boyceville’s deficit to 23-18. Unfortunately, Liam Girard-Moore’s forfeit at 175 pounds was the Bulldogs’ only victory over the final seven matches.
