It’s never easy to come so far and still come up just short. After a great regular season, Elmore County wrestling fought its way through to the final four teams in the AHSAA Class 5A duals. The Panthers faced a stout opponent in Hayden and was ultimately defeated, 55-19. They bounced back in the third place match, facing the Beauregard Hornets for the third time this season after beating them in the two previous meetings.
Elmore County sealed its third win over the Hornets, 46-30, and claimed third place in Class 5A for the second-straight season.
