SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – The Pierre Governor wrestling team scored 116 points and finished 4th as the South Dakota State Class A Wrestling tournament wrapped up Saturday night in Sioux Falls. The Governors had one wrestler going for a state championship. That was Regan Bollweg at 195 who lost the title match to Gavin Gulbranson of Harrisburg in overtime on a controversial finish when it appeared that Bollweg scored two points right before time expired in the OT period that would have given Bollweg the title. The referee of the match did not call it and Bollweg was left to settle for second place. The Governors had a total of 8 place winners in the tournament with Cade Hinkle (1450 and Jack Van Camp (152) finishing third, Blake Judson (106) and Preston Taylor (285) finishing 4th, Tyson Johnson (138) was 5th while Kahlor Hindman (120) and Deegan Houska (126) both finished in 8th place. The 4th place finish by the Governors as a team was the lowest finish by a Governor team at the State Tournament in the last 10 years. Pierre had won 7 of 9 State tournament titles and finished second on the other two occasions.
