Wrestling without five varsity grapplers, Steve Thorpe’s Huskies still finished third Saturday at the always tough South Albany tournament.
“Our JV guys really stepped up and did the job for us,” Coach Thorpe said. “I thought our varsity guys who weren’t sick also wrestled well.”
Coach Thorpe said Andrew Swanson, Neil Workman, Kyle Temple, Chris Phillips, Israel Helfrich, matt Vassar and Daniel Brewer all had a good tournament.
Second varsity grapplers who turned in strong performances were Mike Lummus, Thomas Rosa and Jason Tuchardt among others.
“Thomas Rosa really shined for us,” Coach Thorpe said. “Rob Martin, a fresman at 215 and heavyweight is getting better every week.”
Charles Murray and Hance Woody also drew praise from their coach.
Calendar: The Huskies host Molalla Thursday. JV action starts at 6 p.m. and the varsity matches will start at 7 p.m. This will be senior night honoring Andy Ellis, Ross Almason, Israel Helfrich, Trevor Burchard and Tyler Horn.
