Here are the results from the tournament held at Box Elder High School on January 16 and 17. Riley Yeates, the Bees 171 pound wrestler was next up for the Bees.

Rhett faced off against the same opponent that he faced last week in the finals of the Richardson Memorial National Coach of the Year Award The Box Elder Wrestling Coach was named National Coach of the year in his sport... Box Elder Wrestlers Reign Supreme Once Again OREM — Box Elder and its wrestling coach Mike Ripplinger added one more trophy to the school's growing collection as the Bees captured the 4A state wrestling championship for the fourth time in six years on Friday night. Pleasant Grove Takes Early Lead It may be early, but there was definite separation between some of the contenders and the also-rans. Four or five teams have established themselves as the contenders, but no team has jumped out to a comfortable lead after the first day of the 4A and 5A state wrestling championships Wednesday at the McKay Events Center on the campus of Utah Valley State College. Box Elder Takes Wild Class 4-A Nothing has been taken for granted in the Class 4-A state wrestling championships. Each round of the tournament ended with a new leader, but it was Box Elder that walked away with the team title. Box Elder's Riley Yeates pinned his first two opponents despite having a left shoulder that is so loose that he said it is not a matter of if it pops out, but when.
