It was a busy week for the County Line Rivals as they wrestled in Las Animas on Tuesday against the host team and Lamar JV and they traveled to Limon on Saturday for their annual tournament.  Competition is always tough in Limon and the team had to suffer a few lumps along the way.  There were 21 teams at the tournament and the County Line Rivals scored a total of 69 points which place them tied in 9^th place with Sedgwick County-Fleming.  Here are the results from Las Animas Tri Meet and the Limon Tournament.

Verse of a favorite hymn: “O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home.”
