It was a great night for the Stormray Boys Wrestling team at Kamiak on Thursday night, December 7, 2023. 

They went head to head with Kamiak and then Marysville Getchell. 

First the Stormrays took on Kamiak starting at 138 lbs. 

Captain Masa Taura started the match off right pinning Brian Flores in the second period. 

During the close match, Sky Klein, James Nottingham, Nathaniel Hernandez, Mak Kanzler and Brody Schmid all picked up their first wins (all by pin) for the dual season. 

Final score: Shorewood 42 Kamiak 39.

The team headed into the second match of the double dual ready for another win. Again it was a match with lots of pins, most by Shorewood. 

The match began with Rock Harris at 144 lbs. Harris and Sky Klein won with back to back pins. Then Getchell and SW traded pins with a win by Oli Dalan, Mak Kanzler, at 165 and 190. 

Once the Stormrays got back to the lighter weights, it was four straight pins for SW. Freshmen Finn Greenleaf, Emiliano Olivera, and Melyk Valencia as well as Eli Jeppsen, a sophomore, helped to clinch the deal for the Stormrays. 

The final win came as the match ended right back where the night started, with Masa Taura and another pin for the Stormrays. 

Final score: Shorewood 54 Marysville Getchell 27.

The Shorewood Junior Varsity squad also had their own dual against Kamiak and came out on top as well.
