Cardinal wrestlers fall at DP

Medical Lake ventured into the tall grass, so-to-speak, in their lone Northeast A League wrestling match last week, traveling to face defending state 2A champion Deer Park and falling 63-18.

Hudson Petek at 160 pounds, Ian O’Brien (280) and Jackson Tappero (182) all won by pins for the Cardinals.

“We competed very well,” head coach Sam Petersen said. “Two others, Keoni Paikuli and Justin Brundage, were ahead before they got caught and pinned.”  

The Cardinals took a limited squad of just seven wrestlers to the Tri State Tournament in Coeur d’Alene last Friday and Saturday and finished seventh in the Bronze Bracket, falling 33-24 to Timberlake.

Medical Lake was on the road at the No. 1 ranked 1A team, Colville, this past Wednesday and hosted Newport, Jan. 15 at 5:30 p.m.
