Let’s take a closer look at North Central High School Wrestling.  North Central returns all state participants, and returns all 92.5 points they scored at last years’ Mat Classic.  Leading the charge will be 3x state champion and multiple time Fargo All American Clai Quintanilla.  Clai will be looking to add his name to the elite 4-timer club.  Not to be outdone, the Indians also return 2016 state champion and former Fargo All American Bryan Wais.  The Indians return all 7 state qualifiers, but also look to improve on last year’s point total by pushing another 4 or 5 wrestlers that barely missed qualifying for last year’s state tournament.  NC hopes to bring back another state title and they look forward to a dog fight with cross state rivals Bonney Lake.
