NEW GLARUS - The Monroe wrestling team crowned four champions en route to winning the Raider Scramble tournament Saturday.

Monroe edged Evansville-Albany for the title 190-179 in the nine-team tournament. The Cheesemakers won the tournament despite wrestling without senior McKenzy Foley (170) who was out of town.
"It was a little bit of a suprise," Monro coach Tom Witt said. "We are seeing some of the hard work we put in early pay off. I wanted them to keep wrestling hard in the finals and wreste to their ability and they did that. Hopefully, that motiavtes them even more."
Andrews went 5-0 and posted three pins. He defeated Brodhead-Juda's Blake Burns in a nail-biter 8-6 in overtime in the championship match. Murray also went 5-0 and had four pins in the tournament. He defeated Mount Horeb's Tyger Frame 7-3 in the title match.
