Burk wins championship as Braves compete at Ron Thon

The Braves wrestling team wrapped up January and rolled into the final month of their Eason as they competed at the Ron Thon Memorial on Riverton. As a team, the braves scored 131.0 team points and placed sixth among the 41 schools in attendance. 

Defending 4A champion Thunder Basin ran away with the team title by scoring 245.5 points. 

Kooper Burk won the 157-pound championship with a 10-5 decision over Green River Maddux Hintz. Kimball Parry (120), Ty Thompson (150) and Grant Thomson (215) also placed and finished fourth in their respective weight brackets. 

Several junior varsity Braves competed very well at the tournament as well. Nolan Hyde (113), Caisen Miserany (138) and Hudson Newell (150) all won their respective brackets. 

The Braves will travel to Green River for what is always a spirited rivalry with the Wolves on February 6. Star Valley will then host the Evanston Red Devils for Senior Night on February 13 before hosting a one-day 4A West Regional tournament on February 21.
