The Eagan Wildcats wrestling team fought hard to defeat the Rosemount Irish in a quarterfinal matchup at the Section 3AAA tournament held in Apple Valley on Friday. 

The match came down to the last pairing of heavyweights. With Rosemount only needing a victory by points and not by a pin, Mitch Johnson, with a record of 24-8, came in and sealed the victory for the Wildcats. 

The excitement of the close win over Rosemount was soon erased, as Eagan tried to take down the No. 1 seeded Apple Valley team in the semifinals. Eagan failed to make any pins against Apple Valley, and lost in a one-sided match against the team. Johnson provided the team with its only points in a win against Apple Valley's Corbin Farrell. In the end however, Eagan failed to take down the Goliath of Apple Valley.
