Butler Bears Wrestling Day 2 of State Championship Update:

Butler High School will be represented in the 150lbs Missouri State High School Wrestling Championship match tonight in Columbia by Sophomore Kellen Long who got a 9-2 decision win in the semi finals today! Best of luck and congratulations on making it to the finals as a sophomore Kellen.

Also Butler Sophomore Damian Alkire won his semi-final wrestleback by pin and he will wrestle later today for 3rd place. 

Sophomore Preston Mallatt lost in the 3rd round wrestleback by pin but had a great season and will be back stronger next year! All of you made Butler proud!

We will keep you posted on Kellen and Damian matches later today and hopefully have some photos to share!
