CHERRYVALE — Three Humboldt Middle School wrestlers won league titles at  Thursday’s Tri-Valley League Tournament in Cherryvale.

Kenady Lucke, wrestling at 106 pounds, 148-pounder Dakota Haigler and heavyweight Orval LeClair won their respective TVL titles during Thursday’s round-robin tournament.

Myriads of other Humboldt grapplers from a variety of weight classes medaled at the tournament.

Lucke took gold after rolling consecutive pins on second place Pazilee Odell of Fredonia and third place Cheyenne Brooks of Caney Valley.
