Raider wrestlers win dual meet

Will host district tournament this Saturday

The Raiders went to Oroville on Thursday to wrestle in a dual match, where the Hornets combined with Liberty Bell and Wilbur-Creston-Keller to form one team to take on Lake Roosevelt.

LR won the first dual 38-30, then took some wrestlers who didn’t get to wrestle in that dual match and gave them their own dual, which LR won 18-9.

“We were trying to have a little late-season fun, get some good matchups,” said Head Coach Steve Hood. “We had a good time.”

The district tournament will be held in Coulee Dam this Saturday at 10 a.m., with LR hosting wrestlers from Oroville, Tonasket, Brewster, Pateros, and Liberty Bell.

Ida Sue will be wrestling in the Eastern Washington girls’ sub-regional tournament Friday and Saturday in East Wenatchee.

Hood noted that 24 out of the 25 students who turned out for wrestling finished the season and are entering the postseason.

“This would be the highest percentage of people who have finished the whole season since I’ve had anything to do with it,” Hood said.
