PUYALLUP — Defending 4A state champion Lake Stevens opened the 2009-2010 wrestling season with two impressive wins Saturday.
Lake Stevens, which has won three consecutive 4A titles, defeated Rogers 36-27 and Tahoma 44-30 at Rogers High School.
“We had timely pins against Tahoma,” Lake Stevens head coach Brent Barnes said. “We had five pretty big pins. That was huge.”
Against Rogers, Barnes credited senior Josh Heinzer, the defending state champion at 112-pounds now wrestling at 119-pounds, with defeating a Rogers wrestler that placed second at state at 103 pounds last year.
“It was nice to match our state champion against their state runner-up,” Barnes said.
Lake Stevens wrestlers that won both their matches included Eric Soler, Heinzer, Andrew King, Josh Villani, Brandon Belcher and Jacob Anderson.
“It was nice to have good competition,” Barnes said.
