Stikine Middle School wrestler Chase Kincaid prepares to spar with a Craig opponent during exhibition play Saturday afternoon. Due to the brisk pace of matchups during the day, the tournament was able to break for some extra bouts before the final rounds.
Seven teams and 74 wrestlers travelled to Wrangell last weekend for the 2015 Stikine Invitational Middle School Wrestling Tournament, coming out from Ketchikan, Craig, Hydaburg, Thorne Bay, Klawock and Petersburg.
