The Lightning is undefeated at 6-0 after racking up three more wins at an Eden Valley-Watkins Quad. Friday, Dec. 15.

The Lightning took on three Class A schools that they don’t usually see at the competition which replaced the cancelled Glencoe-Silver Lake Duals.

ANML defeated Minneapolis North 70-6 in the first match of the evening with North’s lone win coming at 285 pounds by their state qualifier from last season.

After winning the first dual, the Lightning faced last year’s Class A 4th place team who still holds a top-ten ranking this season, Royalton. The Lightning started out fast with pins by Fobbe and Pribyl. Fitzgerald won a big swing match, and then ANML rattled off four straight wins in the heart of Royalton’s lineup. The Royals closed in with two more pins, but Nathan Klatt put an end to their comeback with a fast pin at 215.
