The boys varsity wrestling team won 55-24. “South Whidbey was a great match for us. The Falcons challenged us at a lot of our stronger weight classes, winning some matches against our better wrestlers,” said head coach Perer Esvelt. “Our communities are close when it comes to wrestling, so seeing a competitive match between us is great, as we can partner in the off-season and see both teams improve.”
