Ponderosa Middle School sixth grader Blaine Welsh (pictured above) will compete in the middle school wrestling state competition this weekend. Welsh spent time this week preparing for his state competition at the wrestling room at Klamath Union High School, wrestling against older and heavier opponents, something he might face in the state competition.
Ponderosa Wrestling had a great outing from the state regional wrestling tournament this past weekend.
Here are the top finishers for Ponderosa Wrestling:
Blaine Welsh - 3rd place (State Qualifier)
Jacob Pyfer - 6th place
