Shorewood wrestling edges past Mariner

By Clark Norton, Asst. Wrestling Coach, Shorewood High School

The Shorewood wrestling team continued its good start to season by defeating old nemisis Mariner 42-36 to improve to 3-0. After waiting two decades to notch their first win over the Mauraders last season the T-Birds have now won two in a row. 

Junior caption Rikio Campbell got the crowd into the match by moving up a weight class to 145 lbs and pinning Mariner senior Huy Pham in the 2nd round. After heavyweight Erca Erdenebayer threw his opponent straight from his feet to his back and gave Shorewood a 36-12 lead the Marauders almost came all the way back by scoring 24 of the last 30 points.
