Give ’em the crown.

Powered by two individual champions, the Oak Harbor High School girls’ wrestling team captured a 3A/4A Sub-Regional team title Saturday on its home mats.

The 3A Wildcats, who are coached by Mike Crebbin, husband of longtime Coupeville volleyball guru Toni Crebbin, topped an 18-team field to net the trophy.

Schools in action hailed from KingCo and WESCO, which are 4A conferences, and the Northwest League, which features 3A schools.

Oak Harbor finished with 221 points, edging out Lake Stevens (209) for the crown, with Glacier Peak (176.5), North Creek (158), and Mount Vernon (157) comprising the rest of the top five.

‘Cat grapplers finished first in the 100-pound and 235-pound weight classes, with Julia Gonzalez and Olivia Hudson, respectively, going undefeated to win those titles.

OHHS teammates Genesis Egli (125), Annabelle Suto (135), Zoe Beeman (145), and Lotoaigaola Tupu (235) all finished 2nd in their weight classes, with Khryza Castillo (115) claiming 4th place.

Oak Harbor now advances to Regionals, which will be held at Monroe High School.

“And stay down!!”

He’s a man without a team, but not without a dream.

Coupeville High School has never had a wrestling squad, but that’s not stopping senior Alex Turner.

After transferring to CHS from South Whidbey, he became a one-man Wolf wrecking crew on the mats this year, training and traveling with 3A Oak Harbor.

Now that the postseason has arrived, Turner has returned to 1A, and he kicked off that run with resounding success Saturday at Mount Baker High School.

Sweeping all three of his matches, with two wins by pins which came in less than a minute, he won the 170-pound class at sub-regionals, moving a step closer to punching his ticket to the state meet.

After thumping the field Saturday, Turner advances to regionals Feb. 9 at Meridian.

A top-four finish there and he’s off to Mat Classic at the Tacoma Dome.

Turner was an alternate to the state meet as a SWHS junior, but didn’t get a chance to wrestle on the big stage.

Saturday, Turner bested a seven-man draw in his weight class at sub-regionals, opening by pinning Aiden Coleman of South Whidbey in just 55 seconds.

His middle match of the day was his toughest, as he had to go the full three rounds before earning a 16-8 decision over top-seeded Cameron Butler of Nooksack Valley.

After besting the odds-on favorite, Turner capped his day by crushing Nooksack’s other 170-pound grappler, Hunter Morgan, slamming him to the mat for a pin in just a scant 39 seconds.
