Joe Pizzuto, a transfer from Port Angeles, got a pin in his first match, putting Zach Moss to the mat in 45 seconds. Teammate Tommy Sund pinned Davien West in 1:11 of the first round.

Austin Middleton battled North’s Mathew Moriarty to a 6-4 decision while Sequim’s Clay Charlie fell to Jared House 7-6 in the only non-pin matches of the night.
