At 132-lbs., Luke Stacey placed 3rd– Luke pinned his first opponent against Kittitas in round one and then had a points loss to Prairie 10-6.

At 145-lbs., Alex Johnson placed 1st– First match was with a Colfax wrestler and Alex pinned him for the win in round three. The next match was against Pomeroy and was also a win by pin, this time in round one. The Championship match was a points win 12-4 against Clearwater Valley.

At 182-lbs., Nate Cothren placed 3rd– Nate’s first match was a loss by forfeit because the ref wouldn’t allow him to wrestle without a mouth guard due to braces; one was found before match two. This dropped him down to the consolation bracket and Nate came back through the bracket with three wins by pins. First was a Clarkston pin 33 seconds into round one, then a pin against Kittitas in round three. Nate pinned his Colfax opponent in round one.

At 182-lbs., Trystan Mendez placed 1st– First match was a bye, Trystan’s second match was a win with a pin in round two against a Kittitas wrestler. The Championship match was with a Tri City Prep wrestler and Trystan pinned him in the first round.
