Not only did four Raiders place well at last Saturday's Brice Williams Invite in Spangle, but Lake Roosevelt's wrestling team also turned out to be the most underestimated at the 16-team tourney.
Blake Chuckelnaskit pins Mt. Spokane's Miguel Sousa Montanez before placing second at 215. He scored 20.0 team points for LR.
The Raider wrestlers, taken all together, scored the most match points of any team there (151), and ended up with the largest difference between their seeding into the event and where they actually ended up among the team rankings.
When it was all over LR came in eighth with 81 team points racked up by nine Raiders. Mt. Spokane, a 3A school, took first with 14 athletes and 113 points.
Rodger Cate took first in the 120-pound bracket. Blake Chuckelnaskit took second at 215. Kaden Christman took third place at 138. And Isaac Circle took fourth at 150.
Cate may have been the fastest pinner at the tournament. He was listed second under "Most Pins Least Time," pinning four opponents in a total of four minutes, 14 seconds, including his Selkirk foe in the 120-pound championship, pinning him in 48 seconds.
