Section 7-3A Wrestling Tournament
Where/When: The Knights will take their chances in the toughest section in Class AAA when they travel to Blaine Friday, Feb. 18. Quarterfinal action begins on four mats at 4 p.m., with the semis at 6 p.m. and the finals at 8 p.m. Friday night.
Why Go: The Knights are looking to return to state, where they earned second place as a team last season, coming in behind Apple Valley. They are the top seed again in this year’s section tournament, but Cambridge-Isanti, Forest Lake and Coon Rapids are also ranked in the state and could knock off the Knights with a big effort.
