The Scots wrestled against Marysville Getchell Wednesday in the Shorecrest High School Athletic Facility.

The Marysville Chargers have a large squad (both Varsity and JV) and they didn’t leave anyone home! Despite giving up a forfeit at the 120lb spot, the Scot wrestlers held the score against the well stocked Chargers in the light weight and middle weight brackets.

Thomas Rhodes (106lbs), Roman Shadduck (113lbs), Kelvin Schmidt (138lbs), Trentyn Good (152lb) and Ian Mortensen (170lb) were able to get pins for 6 team points each, which kept the Scots in the fight.

However, once the heavy weight contests began, it was a downhill slide for the Scots. The Chargers handed the Scots four consecutive losses at the 182lb, 195lb, 220lb and 285lb weight classes, effectively shutting the door on the Highlanders. The Scots are now 4-2 on the dual season.

Kaiya Conway had the most intense match of the night. Only match up where each wrestler was a state participant.
