Fear the Wolves on the mat.
Coupeville High School may only have one active wrestler, and no program of its own, but that lone Wolf is doing OK on his own.
CHS senior Alex Turner was fairly flawless Saturday, sweeping through three matches to claim a title in the 182-pound class at the Everett Gold Medal Classic.
He opened with a win on points (12-4), the pinned his second and third foes. The first pin came in a sizzlin’ 30 seconds.
Turner, who returned to Coupeville this year after spending several seasons at South Whidbey High School, was an alternate to state last year as a Falcon junior.
Unfortunately, his current school has never had a wrestling program, so he and dad Joseph arranged for him to train and travel with 3A Oak Harbor High School.
Turner competes as a Wolf, though, and will return to 1A for the postseason.
