Armstong, Cooper Grapplers Compete at Sectionals

The Robbinsdale Cooper and Armstrong wrestling squads both competed at the Section 6AAA team tournament, held at Hopkins High School on Saturday.

While the seventh-seeded Falcons were able to claim a dominating 66-6 victory over No. 10 Edina in the opening "pigtail" round, neither Robbinsdale team was able to advance out of the quarterfinals.

The Hawks, seeded sixth, had a first-round bye, but lost by a 54-21 score to third-seeded Hopkins, while Armstrong suffered a 54-19 defeat to second-seeded Minnetonka in the second round.

Both Cooper and Armstrong wrestlers will now prepare for the Section 6AAA individual tournament, scheduled to be held on Feb. 25-26 at Minnetonka High School.
