Redfield Area held on to win the Region 1B championship by one point over Sisseton and qualifies 9 for the state tournament.  Sisseton and Redfield were tied with 126 points going into the placing matches. The placing round was full of exciting matches but when the dust settled Redfield outdistanced Sisseton 150-149. Winning titles for the Pheasants were Riley Whitley (106), Bradyn Robbins (126), Dylan Whitley (145), Barrett Wren (182), and Cooper Baloun (195). Also qualifying for the state meet by placing 4th were Mason Fey (138), Hunter Wright (152), Trevor Frost (160), and Drew Masat (170). “We had 11 kids wrestling at regions, it really would have been nice to get Cullen McNeil (132) and Branden Roe (220) through” said coach Wade Schlotter. “Both wrestlers won matches that contributed to the team winning the title”.
