The Dowagiac Middle School wrestling program hosted Lakeshore, Buchanan and Cassopolis on Monday.
"It was good to get our kids some matches with us missing our first couple of matches due to weather," coach Andy Crawley said.
"The athletes wrestled well and we see improvement every time they step on the mat."
Picking up victories for the Chieftains were Colten Evans, Anthony Nelson, Steven Bannow and Matt Dodd.
Winning two matches for the Chieftains were Tyler Frese, Zach Hyatt, Logan Slabaugh and Steven Baylock.
Dowagiac will be back in action on Thursday, Feb. 22.
