DAYTON — To the right of the Tongue River Eagles logo on the wrestling mats spread across the Tongue River High School floor, senior Jacob Knobloch made history in just more than 30 seconds Thursday night, becoming the first Eagles wrestler to win on “home mat.”

“I didn’t even think about it until I was done wrestling,” Knobloch said. “And then it was like, ‘Hey, I just won our first home wrestling match.’ I was just like, ‘Oh my gosh.’ There were so many emotions.” 

Knobloch’s pin over Glenrock/Sundance’s Max Coulter in the 285-pound match took exactly 32 seconds, and Tongue River took less than an hour to secure its 60-18 victory, but the win marked by Eagles’ fans applause and cheers had been three years in the making.
