To start the night off the Meridian Park Elementary School Wrestling Rhinos put on an exhibition for the crowd. Coached by PE teacher Matt Alford, the little grapplers showed how much they have learned.

The dual meet started off with a rematch of the 2017 Shoreline Invite finals. Shorecrest's Kaiya Conway controlled Kody Carpenter for most of the match before getting reversed to his back and almost giving up a pin deep into the third round. His lead held and he avoided the pin to stay a perfect 3-0 versus Shorewood wrestlers on the season.

The T-Birds responded with a quick first round pin from Curt Tanaka over Roman Shadduck. Not to be outdone, the Scots responded with a third round pin from Trentyn Good over Richard Street.

From there on it was all T-Birds as the west side grapplers ripped off a technical fall and seven straight pins to seal the match.

The Spartan Cup will stay in the trophy case at Shorewood for another year with the T-Birds beating the Scots 59-21.
