The SCHS varsity squad saddled up their horses and rode into Sedro Woolley early Saturday morning, December 11, 2021 to get some experience in the rough and tumble wrestling world of the Skagit Valley. 

The "Spud Walley Invite” drew top varsity wrestlers from all over the NW Washington region and offered some excellent competition.

The Scot's varsity line-up included:

• George Fernandez (Junior) @ 113lbs

• Thomas Rhodes(Senior) @ 152lbs
• Max Rutledge (Junior) @ 160lbs
