Tiger matmen open season at Timberline

The Mountain Home Tigers wrestling team opens its season tonight with a dual match at Timberline High School in Boise.

The Tigers will be at the Boise Duals at Capital this Friday and Saturday.

Tiger wrestling coach Lynn Knudson says tonight's match will give them a look at his team before they head into the tough Boise Duals Tournament this weekend.

"It's always nice to have an opening match before we head into the Boise Duals to get a little look at them. The Boise Duals are going to give them a lot of experience."

Coach Knudson said it's too early in the season to have a good thought on what the conference race will be like this year.

"I really don't know much about what to expect at this point. Give me about three weeks and I'll know more."

The Tigers' first home match will be Dec. 17 against Emmett.
