Oak Harbor High School wrestler Sam Zook made it 3-for-3 this season when he won an individual title at the 17-team Graham Morin Invitational Tournament Saturday, Dec. 17, at Bellingham’s Squalicum High School.
Zook, a senior, also won titles in the 285-pound class in tournaments at Edmonds-Woodway and Decatur high schools earlier this month.
Three other Wildcats placed in the Morin. Blake McBride (145 pounds), Nick Dugin (182) and Michael Fisken (195) all took third.
As a team, Oak Harbor finished sixth out of 17 with 95 points. Ferndale easily won with 239 points.
After receiving a bye, Zook, the state’s top-ranked 3A heavyweight, rolled to the title with three consecutive falls. He defeated Squalicum’s Dominick Mack in the title match.
McBride, a sophomore, lost in the quarterfinals and then won three in a row to get third.
Senior Dugin and sophomore Fisken both lost in the semifinals and won three of four matches, all by falls.
Oak Harbor goes back to Squalicum at 2 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 20, for the eight-team Storm Duals.
