Because of today’s snow I wasn’t able to get to Rochester for the Minnesota Christmas wrestling tournament, but I have learned of a big surprise. David Thorn, a three-time state champ from St. Michael-Albertville, was pinned in the first period by Apple Valley freshman Brandon Kingsley in the title match at 125 pounds. Kingsley, a first-year varsity wrestler, was seeded seventh in the tournament.

Apple Valley won the team title for the 11th time in 13 years. A full report will be found on the Prep Sports page later tonight.
