The highlight match was at 125, where Drew Acorn, state champ at 103 and usually wrestling at 119, clinched the match with a 19-11 decision over Ryan Majors, who rallied from an 8-0 deficit.

At 119, Brenton Beard of Riverside beat Blake Adams, third last year at state at 112, 7-1.

Cheney 45, Medical Lake 27: At Medical Lake, the Cardinals jumped to an early lead by winning three of the first four matches, including Bryce Dressler’s 1-0 win over Grady Early at 135 pounds.

That match was decided by a second-period penalty point because of locked hands.

At 140, the Cardinals’ Dean Peterson beat Justin Ward 2-0 with a second-round reversal.

West Valley 42, Pullman 30: The Eagles won the first four matches, highlighted by Quinn Gannon’s 8-4 decision over Brad Church at 135, and then put together a string of five straight wins after the Greyhounds had won three straight for a 42-30 win at Pullman.
