Shelton wrestlers prepare for tough competition AUTOMOTIVE 2033 Olympic Highway North • Sheltol By EMILY HANSON The Shelton wrestlers spent last week training hard for two separate tournaments this week. The varsity squad began competing at the Pac Coast Championship on Wednesday, Dec. 28 at Hudson Bay High School and are set to continue competing on Thurs- day, Dec. 29. The junior varsity squad is competing on Thursday, Dec. 29 at the North Mason Classic tournament. "Pac Coast is a great mid-season thermometer and we expect to do very well," Chris Lacy, head coach, said. "Our JV will be competing in a varsity tournament. They're absolutely ready; we wouldn't be doing it if they weren't ready." Lacy said that, judging on records alone, the most suc- cessful wrestlers this season are Jakeob Garrick, Ty Mc- Cullough and Colby Barber. "There are so many kids doing well it's hard to single anyone out," Lacy said. "The wrestlers that have had the most dramatic improvement from last season to this sea- son are Adam Coffman, Ben Anderson and Kusiah Mc- Cullough and we've been getting great leadership from all of our seniors, especially Johnathen Dennis and Skylar Core." Because of winter break, the wrestlers had Dec. 19 through Dec. 23 to practice for these two tournaments. "We're having very intense practices this week and next to get ready for those two tournaments," Lacy said. "We're treating those like our mid-season postseason because our intensity is where we want it for the postseason." The last time Shelton attended the Pac Coast Tour- nament was in 2005. That year, the Highclimbers came home with one champion: Zach Corbett at 275. "This is the first time we've gone back because we didn't feel like we had a team that was ready for Pac Coast," Lacy said. "Last year, we tried to get in but the tourna- ment was full." Fourteen Highclimbers will be competing among 36 teams during the two-day tournament while Shelton will be sending as many junior varsity wrestlers as they can to the 16-team North Mason Classic. 426-1467 GUN FOR SALE Smith & Wesson M & P 15 • 6 Position Adjustable Stock " EO Tech Holographic Scope o Tridgicon Tactical Sights • Picatinny Rail System Top & Forearm SingJe Point Bungie Sling • Houge Grip • Discrete Carry Bag • 450 Rounds of Ammo W/Carry Bag • Zeroed at 1,000 Yards This weapons system is "like new" and is an incredible buy at $1,2000.
