A rough night for Shorewood wrestling Wednesday against Edmonds-Woodway

By Clark Norton

It was a rough night for the Shorewood wrestling team on Wednesday as they hosted the Edmonds-Woodway Warriors.

Shorewood was definitely undermanned as they attempted to deny Edmonds-Woodway their 8th straight league title, and eleventh in thirteen years. 

After giving up a forfeit at 106 pounds the Stormrays sent out Owen Mulder at 113. Mulder bullied his opponent the entire match, but couldn’t quite get the pin in a dominant 14 to 0 win.

Edmonds-Woodway received two more forfeits at 120 and 126 pounds before Shorewood captain Quincy Laflin came up at 138. Laflin wasted little time as he attacked from the opening whistle and pinned his opponent in just 40 seconds. 

However, there would be no upset on this night. Edmonds-Woodway ran off four straight wins, sandwiched around another pair of forfeits, to put the contest out of reach, cruising to a comfortable 59-13 win.

Shorewood wrestles their final regular season match this Friday, January 28th, at home against cross-town rivals Shorecrest. Wrestling begins at 7pm.
