CORALVILLE — For the first time since 2006, the Osage boys wrestling team won the Class 2A state dual team championship on Saturday night at the Xtreme Arena in Coralville, as you heard on AM-1490/96.7-FM KRIB and AM-1300 KGLO. The Green Devils won their quarterfinal round dual 52-18 over Williamsburg, their semifinal dual 43-25 over Mount Vernon, and then beat four-time defending 2A champion West Delaware 37-28 in the championship. Osage coach Brent Jennings says after several recent trips to the state duals without a championship, it was good to capture the title.

Jennings says he likes the new format of doing state duals ahead of the district tournament as well as the new venue.

Jennings told his team after capturing the title that they now have to be ready for the district tournament on Saturday.

Top-ranked Osage will wrestle in the 2A district at Iowa Falls on Saturday. You can hear district tournament reports from all of our area schools starting at 11 o’clock on Saturday on AM-1490/96.7-FM KRIB.
