Foley Duals
 
December 6, 2003 at Foley, MN

Lyle Freudenberg won his 400th career match on Saturday as the Foley wrestling team earned a share of first place in the Foley Duals. For now.

The Falcons and Pierz battled to a 29-29 tie in the championship match, but a new rule in the tie-breaking procedure in a dual meet tournament was unclear. A call to the Minnesota State High School League will be made on Monday to determine if Foley and Pierz will be co-champions or if Pierz will be declared the champion on the sixth criteria according to the National Federation rules.

The Falcons, ranked No. 12 in Class 2A, advanced to the championship by beating Rocori 57-6 in the quarterfinals and fourth-ranked Hibbing 30-27 in the semifinals. The win over Rocori was the 400th of Freudenberg's career.

Pierz, which is ranked No. 2 in Class A, reached the championship with a 51-22 win over Parkers Prairie and a 63-16 decision over Becker, which competed in the Class 2A state tournament last year.
