Mount Si wrestlers take eighth at Spud Walley tourney, Josh Mitchell defends weight class


December 13, 2011 · 2:53 PM

Mount Si wrestlers placed eighth out of 15 teams in the Saturday, Dec. 10, Spud Walley Invitational tournament in Sedro Wooley.

Heavyweight Josh Mitchell took first in the 285 pound weight slot, while Tyler Hutchinson took fourth in the 195 pound bracket. Eli Clure took fifth at 106, and Bruce Stuart took fifth at 135.

"The team score was pretty good considering we did not have a 132, 152, 170, or 182 wrestler in the tournament," Head coach Tony Scholtfeldt told the Record in an e-mail. Varsity wrestlers in those weight classes were out due to illnesses or being moved into lower weight classes, and participating as non-scoring wrestlers.

The tourney followed a Wildcat manhandling of Juanita in their Dec. 8 road match.

At 120 pounds, Ryley Absher pinned the Rebels' Brian Chung, then Tanner Stalk won at 126. At 132 pounds, Wilkins Melgaard got his pin against Thien Tran. Stuart pinned Juanita's Austin Wells at 138.

At 145, Aaron Peterson pinned opponent Brent Patterson. Mount Si's Tye Rodne pinned Nathan O'Hanlon at 160. Senior AJ Brevick won by technical fall against Slater Davis in the 170 class. At 195, Tyler Hutchinson pinned Tanner Longie.

Wrestlers at the top and bottom of the scale, 106-pound Clure and heavyweight Mitchell won by forfeit.

Against nonleague Issaquah on Dec. 3, Mount Si fell as a team, 36-48, but had several falls to its credit. At 106, Eli Clure pinned Spencer Tickman, Ryley Abscher beat Jordan Hamilton by fall at 120 pounds.
