Photo gallery | Champion hearts; Mount Si grasps top spot at league tourney
“I’m going to regionals.”
That was the common refrain for Mount Si wrestlers racking up points at last weekend’s Kingco League wrestling tournament.
On the mat at Liberty High School, Mount Si claimed the tournament championship, 214.5 points to Mercer Island’s 209, enough to send Mount Si on to the regional tournament as a team.
Punching that ticket to regionals felt “absolutely amazing” to Bruce Stuart, who took third and a berth in 138, locking up Mercer’s Connor Gullstad to win the match, 4-0.

Photo gallery | With hustle and muscle, Cedarcrest dominates sub-regional wrestling tourney
Outside the gym, Robby MacNair was demonstrating the wrestling move he's been saving for the upcoming regional tournament, and of course, for state.
"I haven't used that move all year," he said, but he's ready to.
Inside, DJ Bergquist and Eli Gremmert relaxed as they waited for the preliminary rounds of the Cascade Conference sub-regional tournament to finish up Saturday, Feb. 4. They would soon be wrestling each for the championship of the 152-pound weight class, but since they're teammates on the Cedarcrest High School Red Wolves, they weren't too concerned about who placed where.

Never-say-die Mount Si boys grab must-win Saints game, nearly upset Totems | Photo gallery
The camouflage warm-up jerseys only get broken out in do-or-die moments. Black and red letters spell out "WAR TIME" across the shoulder blades, underlining how the Mount Si boys basketball team treats each game like a battle.
Last week, it was a case of a battle won and a battle lost. The cam jerseys were on display on Friday, Jan. 27, as Mount Si faced Sammamish at home. Missteps in the first half left the Totems with a sizable lead, and although Mount Si battled hard in the second to nearly reclaim the lead, Sammamish held on for a 71-58 win.

Have wheels, will compete: Cycling students get alternative sport at Mount Si High
When Mount Si High School students mount up for their first race of the Washington High School Cycling League season in March, it will be as part of an already winning team.
That team, comprised of 15 Skyline High School freshmen, had an excellent showing in last year’s inaugural season of the mountain biking league, finishing fifth overall in the state.
This year, the team will include a handful of Mount Si riders, thanks largely to the efforts of Upper Valley parents Luke Talbott and Karen Auletta.
