Jakob Dailey and Blake McBride placed second and the Oak Harbor High School boys wrestling team took 10th at the Panther Classic Saturday, Jan. 5, at Snohomish High School.
The Wildcats scored 69.5 points in the 19-team tournament; Sumner claimed the title with 207 points.
Dailey (126 pounds) won three straight matches before losing by a fall to Gavin MacDonald of Glacier Peak in the finals.
McBride (145) also picked up a trio of wins before losing a 5-1 decision to Sumner’s Charles Richmond.
Coupeville’s Alex Turner (170), who trains with Oak Harbor, won one of three matches.
“For a tough tournament coming out of the break, we looked really good as a team,” Oak Harbor coach Larry Falcon said. “We got some rough draws, which made for some tough second matches, but, on the whole, we did well.”
Oak Harbor (2-0) goes to Marysville Getchell (3-3) for the Wesco opener at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 9.
