The Pirate wrestlers had seven meets last week.
It started with the “Taking Down Pancreatic Cancer Tournament” on Jan. 23, 2016. The Pirates faced four teams. First was a loss to Quincy (24-48). Decatur also beat the Pirates (12-60). The Pirates beat both Liberty (49-22) and Skyline (43-26). Overall the Pirates took 5th place out of eight teams.

On Jan. 26, the Pirates wrestled Lindbergh. This was Senior Night for eight team members. Lots of Pirates wrestled each other. Lindbergh lost 57-16 to the Pirates.
On Jan. 28, it was a dual meet against Federal Way and Franklin Pierce. I did not get final team scores for this meet.
Saturday is Sub-Regionals at Highline Senior High starting at 8 a.m. The Pirates finished the season 6-1. The only team to beat them was Renton (7-0). Renton and Highline wrestle each other at Sub-Regionals.
