On the surface and for those who might have just looked at the statistical report of the Jan. 7 Northeast A League wrestling match between Medical Lake and Deer Park the reaction might have been what a rout. A 72-12 thumping will do that. After seeing Ben Evans at 170-pounds and 182-pound Keoni Paikuli lose in second-round pins, the Cardinals found themselves in a huge and immediate hole with forfeits in the 195, 220 and 285-pound weights and trailed 30-0. That’s when f...

And as the numbers might indicate, defense played a big part for Medical Lake. “Our girls have been really working hard on ensuring we contest every shot and understand their rotation ass...

Newport (3-2 NEA, 8-3 overall) got 22 points from Kyler Zorica who was nearly unstoppable from beyond the arc as he hit 6 of 10 3-point shots. Donte Brown w...
