Shorewood Thunderbirds wrestling opened the 2015-16 season Wednesday by hosting a double dual against Stanwood and Oak Harbor. With only two seniors in the varsity line-up, the very young Thunderbirds rode high on their emotions to a victory over Stanwood in their first match and let things snowball out of control in a second match loss to Oak Harbor.

Shorewood 48 Stanwood 34
The first match of the season belonged to Shorewood junior Sam Thurman who bumped up a weight class to 160 pounds. Thurman exploded into his opponent, lifting him high into the air, to secure the first takedown. With a raucous crowd behind him, Thurman was able to get a first round pin.
Stanwood kept the match close, but could never tie the score as Shorewood gradually built a larger and larger lead. The final score of 48-34 was the first victory over Stanwood in Coach Derek Norton's eight seasons leading the team.

Shorewood 30 Oak Harbor 48
After the close-fought win over Stanwood, Shorewood faced Oak Harbor in their second match. The match began at 170 pounds with T-Bird freshman Phil Ball. Ball trailed by a score of 2-1 going into the final period. Despite giving everything he had, Ball gave up a late pin to put Shorewood behind in the team score 6-0.

With the help of 195 pound junior Troy Halloway-Beach's second pin of the night, Shorewood would tie the score at 12-12 after four weight classes. From that point on Oak Harbor used superior skill on their feet to take control of the match. The Thunderbirds appeared a bit shocked at the shift in tactics and never recovered. Although forfeits would keep the score close, the final outcome was never in doubt as Oak Harbor rolled to a 48-30 victory.
