Six Junction City Blue Jays will compete in the Class 6A State Wrestling Tournament Friday and Saturday at Hartman Arena in Park City.

Coach Bob Laster said they include Kade Danielson at 106 pounds, Max Bazan 113, John Clark 145, Kamari Smith 152, Aryus Jones 160, and Jeffery Walters at 220 pounds.

Laster took his team to Park City on Thursday, one day ahead of the tournament. “Main reason that we go down is they have weigh-in on Friday. It’s like at seven o’clock. If we did not go down early that means we would have to depart somewhere around 4:30 in order to get there.”

Laster also likes to get his team an opportunity to practice at least once at Hartman Arena before the tournament.

The Talk of JC, KJCK AM, will provide wrestling reports both days of the tournament with Kevin Griffith and Mike Goodwin. The first report is scheduled at 9:43 a.m. Friday.
