Wrestling to win.
Burro wrestlers discovered the winning formula Saturday, claiming the team title at the 16th annual Hillsboro Dual Invitational.
After five years of dominance by Barnesville, the tournament trophy was returned to Hillsboro. Like the snow piling up outside the Hillsboro Events Center, the Burros buried the Vikings 51-21 in the final dual of the nine-hour day.
“We left no doubt that we were the better team, winning 10 of the 12 matches wrestled and giving up two forfeits,” said Hillsboro coach Eric Ptacek. (more…)

Unstoppable against Oak Grove last Friday in Fargo, the Hillsboro Burros were stopped three nights later by Climax-Fisher, 59-45.
After winning their first two games convincingly, the Burros stumbled at Climax Monday night, losing by 14 to the Minnesota girls basketball co-op.
Three nights earlier in Fargo, Hillsboro did everything right in beating the Grovers 66-38.
The 2-1 Burros are playing tonight at Thompson. Their Dec. 4 game with Griggs County Central at Cooperstown, postponed because of Tuesday’s snow storm, was rescheduled for Dec. 21.
Coach Kyle Morehart’s team will be without the Evenson twins tonight against the Tommies. The girls, Maggie and Joelle, are involved in their brother’s wedding in Grand Forks today.
This will be a challenge for the team, Morehart admits.
He expects a competitive game.
Hillsboro plays at Hatton Dec. 14.
After playing “like a well-oiled machine” against the Grovers, the Burros lost their focus against Climax-Fisher, according to their coach.
“We were embarrassed, the way we played. Hopefully, we’ll learn from it.”
Four Burros scored in double figures against Oak Grove. Junior Ashley Doeden scored 18 points, Joelle Evenson 17, Katrina Meyer 15 and Brittany Wilson 10.
Doeden also led the team in rebounding.
“With Ashley playing so well in the post, it allowed us to get some open looks on the perimeter,” said Morehart. “The girls took advantage.
“We showed great balanced scoring, but the shots were falling.”
Hillsboro led 16-6 after the first quarter and 36-12 at the half.
The Burros tailed Climax-Fisher 26-19 at halftime. Meyer scored 15 points for the Burros. Wilson and Maggie Evenson added 10 each.
Kala Korynta had 12 points for C-F, which had four players scoring in double figures.
