WRESTLING: Panther wrestlers topple Blue Devils

WALLA WALLA — Wenatchee prepared for next week’s district tournament with a 50-31 win over host Walla Walla on Saturday.

The Panthers received pins from Ryan Osterlund, John Campbell, Mike St. Clair and Kyle Lesmeister.

“We wrestled really well,” said coach Ed Valdez. “I liked the fact that our intensity is picking up. We had some close matches, and we won all of them, so that was nice to see. We had quite a lot of falls, and that’s one of the things that you need to do to place high in districts.”

Valdez praised the efforts of heavyweight Ryan Osterlund, who pinned Quin Piver at the 4:24 mark of their match, and 145-pounder Paul Jagla, who took a 4-3 decision over Anthonly Stalder
