A highlight of the match was a win by John Hanley (160) over Spencer Lund who was rated 10th in the state. The second match was against Dassel-Cokato (DC), with the Cubs losing by a score of 55-15. The third match was a bit closer, with Kimball losing to Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa (BBE) by six points. Jeremy Dahnke (152) went 3-0, and Peter Jonas (hwt.) was 2-1.
