The New Era - All about Sweet Home since 1929

Sweet Home’s wrestlers placed second to Tillamook Saturday, Jan. 19, in the 4A Division of the Oregon Classic wrestling tournament in Redmond.

“The kids competed well,” Coach Steve Thorpe said. “This is always a good weekend of wrestling We get to see people we don’t normally see, which is one of the reasons why we go to that tournament. It’s awesome.

The Huskies won their pool Friday with wins over Woodburn (69-7), Estacada (74-6), Sisters (72-0) and Henley (72-12). On Saturday, they beat Phoenix 60-8 and La Grande 42-27 before falling 51-25 in the championship match.
