WARRENTON WRESTLES TO THIRD AT HOME INVITE

The Warrenton Warriors finished behind only traditional Southwest Washington power Castle Rock and 4A Decatur High School at an 8-team wrestling invitational Saturday.

Warrenton 152-pounder Dan Wolfe, who missed the Warriors first two events recovering from injuries suffered in an auto accident, defeated Decatur's Thomas Freeman 12-9 in the finals after pinnning Danile Munsell of Neah-Kah-Nie and decisioning James Lewis of Wahkiakum in the semifinals. Freeman qualified for the Hawaii all-classification state tournament last year.

Tyler Collier also took home a championship at 171 pounds, winning by fall over Scott McClellan of Neah-Kah-Nie in his first match, taking Decatur's Tristan Jones 4-1 in the semifinals and scoring a touchdown win 14-7 over Wahkiakum's Klaus Sorenson in the finlas.

The Warriors, who finished with 137 points, put six wrestlers in the finals and won 4 of their 7 matchups with Decatur, a school based in Federal Way, Washington with an enrollment over 1400. Jacob Bogh (125), Travis Nelson (130), Beau Torres (140) and Jimmy Bechtel (189) all took runner-up finishes with heavyweight Nathan Massey finishing in third place. Decatur took first with 260.5 points, followed by Castle Rock (210.5). Wahkiakum was fourth with 91.5 points, followed by Astoria (79), Ilwaco (45), Seaside (40) and Neah-Kah-Nie (35).

Warrenton's next scheduled meet is the Down River Challenge this Saturday, hosted by Wahkiakum High School.

No individual results were reported for Astoria, Ilwaco or Seaside.
