COQUILLE – The Glide wrestling team had six individual champions and placed second at the 3A Special District 4 tournament on Saturday at Coquille High School.

The Wildcats finished with 298 points, only 18 points behind district champion La Pine. Winning individual titles for Glide was Kasey Collier (132), Zach Holland (145), Ryland Parazoo (152), Cayden Kangiser (170), Collyn Potter (195), Zack Welker (220).

Glide will take 14 wrestlers to the 3A state tournament in Portland this weekend. The Wildcats are looking to improve on last year’s third place finish. None of the individual state champions from last year’s team returned this season, but the Wildcats do return four wrestlers that placed top five in their weight class at state.

The 3A state wrestling tournament begins Friday morning in Portland at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
