Coach Morgan Colburn said
that the team had never real-

before.
"I think they might have
been shell shocked to have
played in a regional game,"
he said.
The Mustangs were down
by 19 points going into the
half, playing what Colburn
called their worst half ever.

Special to The Sentinel
The Goldendale Middle
School wrestlers traveled to
Wapiti, Wash., competed in a
multi-school match, and came
home with memories of tri-
umph.
The wrestlers drove up on
Feb. 28 to compete in the Mid-
Valley Super Match.
Comprised of 15 schools from
the Mid-Valley League and
five schools from the Gold
League, the Super Match is the
middle school equivalent of a
high-intensi.ty state champi-
onship.
To say the competition was
fierce is an understatement.
The tournament began at 9
a.m. and by lO p.m.,
Goldendale had four wrestlers
going into the match: Jeremy
Wolfe, Travis Shuster, Caleb
Ferch and Aaron Ferch.
To get to the match, our
wrestlers had to defeat every
opponent on his side of the
bracket. Likewise, on the cross
bracket side, other kids were
fighting to win. One loss and
you were knocked into the
consolation round.
Having_ defeated every
opponent in their respective
brackets and earning the right
to be called champions; it was
time to meet the cross bracket
champion for the coveted title
of "Super Champ."
Tension, fatigue and rattled
nerves were running high as
all the mats were rolled up
save for one and that mat was
placed dead center in the g~n.
Suddenly the "~vm went dark
and an overhead spot light was
lowered into place, directly
over the mat. "Let's get
readyyyyy tooooo rumbllllle!"
the announcer shouted.
For some of the competi-
tors, this was the biggest
moment of their young lives, a
culmination of training, hard
work and dedication.
The champions faced each
other from across the mat and

as opponent introductions
were made the sweat began to
pour! It was time to decide,
who was the super champ.
When the smoke cleared
and the cheering was done ,
only Jeremy Wolfe and Travis
Schuster stood atop the podi-
um, or more appropriately, on
top of the world. They had
earned the fight to be called
"Super Champs."
Caleb and Aaron Ferch,
both champions from their
side of the bracket, wrestled
hard, but came up just short of
wining their super match
bouts. Other medal winners
were Micheal Lauff with a
bronze medal and Wade
Plumely with fourth place.
Lance Stevens, Micheal
Hammet, and Nick Dumolt
finished in sixth place of the
consolation rounds.
Teams competing in this
super match were Cle Elum,
East Valley, Grandview,
Sunnyside, Highland, Prosser,
Ellensburg, Wahluke, Naches,
Selah, Top-penish, Union Gap,
Wapato, West Valley, Zillah,
Kittitas, Goldendale, Granger,
Mabton, and White Swan.
Although Goldendale High
School wrestlers have had little
to cheer about in recent years
these young middle school kids
and their performances at the
Mid Valley Super Match
proves that for the next four
years the vocal chords of fans,
parents, and coaches alike will
surely be tested.
