With four years to hone their skills, some Moffat County High School wrestlers may find success immediately, and some find it rising through the ranks little by little.

Staring down a busy 6-match weekend Friday and Saturday, the Moffat County Bulldogs’ wrestling team rose to the occasion in late-season action, rolling to a perfect 6-0 mark against the likes of Coal Ridge, Battle Mountain, Summit, Gunnison, Delta, and Alamosa.
The Bulldogs traveled to New Castle Friday night to take on the Coal Ridge Titans, Battle Mountain and Summit Tigers, before then turning right around on Saturday to hit the road for a quad dual against the Gunnison Cowboys, Delta Panthers, and Alamosa Moose in Delta.
Moffat County wrestling sure knows how to bounce back in a big way.
Nearly one week after a tough weekend in Palisade in a quad dual, the Bulldogs hit the mat Thursday night in Steamboat for a triangular dual against the host Sailors and the Middle Park Panthers.
Against the Sailors and Panthers, Moffat County cruised to two dominant wins, defeating the Panthers 60-24, before then sinking the Sailors 53-18 on the Sailors’ Senior Night.
Opening up the triangular dual against the Panthers, Moffat County raced out to a quick 36-0 lead winning the first six matches of the night.
