Raiders wrestled in the Brewster Mix & Match last Tuesday, then in a Warden tournament on Saturday. The Brewster Mix & Match is without brackets and team points, but is rather an opportunity for wrestlers to gain experience.

Raider Kaleb Horn’s first opponent was Okanogan’s Will Clark, whom Horn defeated with two takedowns, five near falls, and an escape, for a “technical fall” with a final score of 18-1. Horn’s next opponent... Full story
