The Three Forks High School wrestling team has their sights set on the Divisional Tournament scheduled for later this month in Cut Bank.

Third-year Head Coach Nye Howey believes his team has been doing good at recent dual events but have not always been at full strength as they prepare for the postseason.

"Our number one focus right now is the Divisional Tournament. Our kids are young, but they have the experience in wrestling. We just have to set our minds right for the tournament," he said.

In action last week, the Wolves traveled to Manhattan to face off against the rival Tigers and hosted Townsend and Fairfield on Saturday.
