Wrestling Powers in the Valley
The Valley's mat men always among the best in the state.
Kittitas right up near the top of the 2B rankings.
Granger and Zillah expected to fight for supremacy in the Single-A's.
Ellensburg solid in 2A grappling.
And, in Class 3A, watch out for these guys.
There are certain sports we just associate with certain schools. Sunnyside is all about wrestling.
Jason Moyer "It's the sport. Ya, it's the big deal. We started the year with 130 wrestlers in the room. 100 of them boys, 30 girls. So, we split practices in two. we can't fit them all in one room."
The Grizzlies have a bunch of returning state mat classic veterans....especially in the lower weights where Sunnyside has traditionally excelled. Maybe a litte tougher this winter. prep wrestling in Washington undergoing major weight class changes....just about every division getting a little heavier...where there were seven classes under 145 pounds.....now there are six.....essentially eliminating one lower division.
Sunnyside should be ok in the upper weights too. Senior Miguel Guzman, an alternate for state last year.....this winter expected to finish his high school career on the main mats in Tacoma....and after....
Miguel Guzman "Maybe go to college. Keep wrestling? Maybe. I'm getting a scholarship for track too. OK. Still having fun? Ya."
Sunnyside, the highest ranked 3A team in the valley.....and once again expected to be one of the best in Washington............The Grizzlies' proud tradition rolls on.
Jason Moyer "We've never had a losing season at sunnyside. Never had a losing season. We have 34 state champs. Right now we have a Hall of Fame coach. George Paulus, head coach. A big draw. He knows everything there is to know about wrestling. Big motivator. We just keep reloading year in and year out."
