Wrestlers place at Mat Classic XX

Four wrestlers from South Side schools placed during last weekend’s state high school wrestling tournaments at Mat Classic XX in Tacoma.

Two were from Liberty, including Brian Mumby who reached the finals of Class B with a pair of decisions before being pinned in the final.

Lewis and Clark football standout Steve Johnson, a major defensive force in the Tigers state championship in the fall, lost his opening 215-pound match by pin, but won his next two 3-2 and 10-6 to finish eighth. Two other Tigers went 0-2.

Ferris has no placers. Regional champion Andre Rivera won his opener, but lost the next two including 6-4 in the quarterfinals to the eventual third-place finisher. Returning state placer Dylan Morgan (125) also was one of four Saxons to go 1-2. Two others went 0-2.
