Izzy LeVine took a chomp out of Arizona wrestling.

The Casteel High School sophomore, who grew up haunting the ballfields and gyms of Coupeville, claimed fourth place at the state wrestling meet Saturday in Phoenix.

Izzy, the rampaging “lil’ sis” of Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Fame inductees Micky and Jae LeVine, won three of five matches.

Competing in the 126-pound class, the tenacious one opened with two wins Friday, before losing a close one to eventual state champ Brianna Reyes, a senior.

LeVine bounced back Saturday during action at Veterans Memorial Coliseum, pinning her first foe before being edged out in the 3rd/4th place bout.
