MITCHELL - One of the worst things that could have happened did.
In a freak accident, Gering’s 285-pound heavyweight wrestler Tom Heimboch suffered a broken leg while wrestling in the Mitchell Wrestling Tournament on Saturday.
The injury to Heimboch kind of took the wind out of the normally talented Gering Bulldog wrestling team and they ended up finishing the tournament in seventh place, behind teams they have demolished all season like Scottsbluff, Kimball, Torrington, Wyo. and Ogallala.
