GARDEN CITY — Competing in the rugged Garden City High School wrestling invite on Friday and Saturday, the Great Bend Panthers finished in 18th place out of 28 teams.
Chris Burley captured third place in the 120-pound division, and teammate Brodie Bretz placed sixth at 138 in what was easily the toughest regular-season tournament for the Panthers all season.
Geordan Martinez of Pine Creek, Colo., was named for the Ed Cramer Most Outstanding Wrestler award.
Great Bend travels to Liberal on Thursday for a Western Athletic Conference quadrangular with Garden City, Hays and the host school.
