Comments: We looked pretty flat against Yankton, but avenged two of those losses (Tatum and Jasmine) at Harrisburg. Bailey has had the unfortunate draw in her last three tournaments meeting the number-one seed each time, but she has been improving in each of those contests. Congratulations to Hadlee. Next competition will be tournaments at Pierre on January 23 and Chamberlain on the 24th. Thank you to the parents and grandparents for all of your support.
