Mother Nature was the big winner this weekend when it came to wrestling.

Thursday’s snowstorm postponed not only the Hilldale Tournament on Friday and Saturday for the Roland Rangers as well as the Garrett Harrison Memorial Youth Wrestling Tournament on Saturday for the members of Roland Youth League Wrestling.

No dates have been rescheduled for either event, but it will be highly unlikely that either event will be rescheduled.

The Rangers are slated to return to action Jan. 31 and Feb. 1 at the 2025 Maverick Conference Tournament in Stilwell.
