The Stevensville Yellowjackets held a home wrestling dual on Saturday against Columbia Falls. The two teams battled to a draw on actual matches but Columbia Falls won four forfeits and so won the over-all match. The battle of the night was at 170 pounds when Stevensville’s Ben Crews went up against Storm Kemppainnen. Although they both weighed within a pound of each other, Crews gave up almost five inches in height to the Columbia Falls wrestler. Crews held a 1-0 lead going into the final minute of the match. Although Companion tried, he couldn’t make up the point. Crews went on to win, 3-0.
