Prior to their annual Valley wrestling showdown, both Mount Si
and Cedarcrest had matches with other KingCo 3A teams.
Fun fund-raiser: The Lady Wildcats’ Booster Club is holding an “Escape to Paradise” auction
on Feb. 5 to benefit young women’s sports in Snoqualmie Valley District #410. The event will
be held at the Mount Si Senior Center with the doors opening at 5 p.m. and the live auction
starting at 6:45 p.m. Live music by “Andy O” a Calypso and Reggae band and cheeseburgers in
paradise will highlight the event. (Above) from left to right softball and basketball coach Dirk

such as the Pedeferris or Mount Si’s Blake Moore and Jason Moe, the
match marked the start of something new: the coach against the wrestler.

While the Mount Si Wildcats may have stumbled into a
late-season slump, dropping their third at home against Issaquah 56-63 Tuesday
