By Clark Norton, Asst. Wrestling Coach, Shorewood High School

The Stanwood Spartans came into Shorewood's gym Tuesday night and handed the T-Birds thier first defeat of the season, 39-31.

Shorewood's Matthew Floresca continued his undefeated season, improving to where he moved up to the 138lb weight class and defeated his opponent 6-1.

With just three matches to go Stanwood held a slim 30-27 lead. The Spartans sealed the match when Dalton Gilman built a big lead and held off a furious comeback from T-Bird Braden Kalloway to win 14-10 at 152lbs -- and returning state placer Zach Schut pinned his opponent at 160lbs.
