Shorewood wrestlers defeat Mountlake Terrace Thursday

The Shorewood wrestling team won a home dual from Mountlake Terrace Thursday, Jan. 16, going into a Saturday tournament at Mercer Island and a dual next week at Shorecrest.

Shorewood’s victory over Mountlake Terrace came after Shorewood finished second and Shorecrest third behind Granite Falls in the eight-team Shoreline Invitational at Shorecrest Saturday, Jan. 11.

Shorewood pulled out a close victory at home Thursday, 40-37, over Mountlake Terrace. The match began at heavyweight, where Thunderbird captain Erca Erdenebayer made quick work of his opponent, getting a second-round pin. Shorewood would take off from there and run out to a 34-6 lead.

At 152 pounds, Shorewood junior Braden Kalloway picked up his 17th pin of the season to give the T-birds a 40-12 lead.

Mountlake Terrace would win the last five matches of the night, but Shorewood held on by avoiding being pinned at 160 and 195 pounds to secure the narrow victory.

The tournament at Mercer Island starts at 10 a.m. Saturday and lasts most of the day.

The Thunderbirds take a 1-1 Wesco 3A record (4-5 overall) into the Friday, Jan. 24, 7 p.m. dual at Shorecrest (0-1, 1-5).
