Three Osmond wrestlers headed to state
This week the Osmond High School wrestling team traveled to Central Valley for the NSAA District 3 tournament to see who would get the opportunity to wrestle in Omaha at the state tournament.
It was a hard-fought tournament with the wrestlers winning matches to advance, wrestling some of their best matches all season although some fell short.
Seniors Jaxon Vinson and Carson Bolz, along with sophomore Kaleb Gardner all finished with a fourth- place medal and punched a ticket to Omaha.
Osmond will be wrestling this coming week starting Thursday morning, Feb. 20, at 9 a.m.
