Blaine hosted a two-day, 15-school Battle of the Border wrestling tournament this past weekend where the Borderites took fifth against some tough competition. Borderites boys wrestling coach Tom Hinz said the boys wrestled pretty good compared to other 1A schools.
“I thought it was a really tough tournament and the boys wrestled really well,” Hinz said.
Some standout performances for the Borderites came from Alex Welch, Timothy Pomeroy and Cael Button, who took second, third and third in their weight classes, respectively.
The boys will have their senior night Thursday, December 16, hosting Ferndale. They travel to Cashmere for a multi-school invitation Saturday, December 18.
