Yelm wrestlers are atop team standings after Day 1 of Mat Classic XXIV; River Ridge boys earn fourth straight 2A District IV title

• Published February 18, 2012

Yelm sits atop the team standings with 62 points after Day 1 of Mat Classic XXIV at the Tacoma Dome on Friday. Thanks in large part to all of those pins, Yelm looks poised to make a run at its second state title in the last three seasons. Darren Harris (106), Jaren Hafford (120), Dillon Harris (132), Jeffrey Leuth (195), and Tyler Wallace (220) combined for eight pins on their way to the semifinal round.

River Ridge junior guard Brad Wallace scored a game-high 19 points to lift the Hawks to their fourth consecutive 2A District IV boys basketball title 52-46 win over Mark Morris Friday night at Saint Martin's Marcus Pavilion.

River Ridge (14-8) has won eight consecutive games overall and a record 12 straight district tournament games. The Hawks will be a No. 1 seed into the 2A regional round of the state tournament and will play at 8 p.m. next Friday at Tumwater High School.
