Shorewood wrestling cruises to huge victory over rival Shorecrest

Shorewood marched into Shorecrest’s gym Thursday night and totally dominated their rivals with a 64-16 victory. Sophomore Esdras Valladeres began the match with authority as he bumped up to the 220 pound weight class and took only 13 seconds to pin his opponent.

The lead was 30-0 before Shorecrest got on the board thanks to Chandler Keopanya’s 11-2 win at 126 pounds. After Shorewood received a forfeit at 132 pounds, Thunderbird wrestler Fidel Chishingu added his own quick pin, 25 seconds, to reestablish Shorewood dominance.

Shorewood had four pins of 35 seconds or less on the night. The 64 team points and the 48 point major of victory were both the largest against Shorecrest of coach Derek Norton’s seven years as head coach at his alma mater Shorewood. The victory also made the seniors the second class in a row to go undefeated against their crosstown rivals.
