Gunner “Gun Show” Starren was the iron man of the week by going 8-2 at the tournament and placing 4th overall at 160 pounds. Gunner lost in the second round to the eventual tournament champion, but wrestled tough in the backdoor showing toughness and grit as he fought his way to the podium.

Tahoma Wrestling had a great weekend of competition. With three teams competing in thre different locations, we got a lot of wrestling in. The varsity did a great job at the Olympic Duals going three and one on the day. We opened with a win over Bremerton High School and then knocked off AC Davis High School of Yakima. In the semifinals we wrestled the number one team in  3A team.  Kelso came out on top with a tight 40-30 win. Our boys competed great and but we were wrestling up a weight class from 160-195 in order to cover a gap in our line up due to injury. One of the exciting matches of the day came at 126 where Austin Michalski took on the number 1 3A 126lb wrestler and got a takedown in overtime to secure the win! We rolled right into the 3rd place match against another thought team form Yelm. The Tornados are ranked #2 in 3A this year and we got to see why. We won a tight dual 33-31 behind the strength of three pins by Gunner Starren, Kione Gill and Noah Sturgill. Noah has been on a mission this season and has pinned 5 of his last 6 opponents! Currently Gunner Starren leads the team with 6 pins and Steal Starren is out front with the most wins at 11-0!

The JV also had a great weekend. The JV team that went to the Larry Brown Classic ( varsity level tournament) in Fife and took 10th out of 16 teams and won multiple matches with Devin Martin, Rylan Korpi, Dan Reeves, Spencer Bergsma all placing 5th! Additionally, our Gold team stayed home for JV Duals and every wrestlers that attended got to wrestle at least one match.

Next up for the team is the Kennedy HS dual at Kenndedy this coming Wednesday 12/13 and then a select group with head to Idaho on Thursday for Tri State. Our 2nd team will attend the Barry Knot Classic at Nathan Hale High School.

Go Bears!

The Tahoma Bears won the first ever home dual in our new high school in front of an electric wrestling crowd! Tonight was Junior Bears night, an awesome night to celebrate our 12 year old Junior Bears who got to take the mat prior to the dual to show off their skills. After the match, Junior Bear fans were able to get signed copies of this years team poster. Thank you to all of our fans that come out and support us.

Last night, the Bears competed in two early season non-league duals against last year’s 3A State Champions, Bonney Lake and perennial wrestling powerhouse Lake Stevens. The night started off with the Bears dismantling the Panthers of Bonney Lake. The Bears won 11 of 14 matches, pinning the majority of their opponents. The best match up of the night happened at 220 pounds, where two returning State Champions faced off. Tahoma’s Kione Gill took care of Bonney Lakes returning champion with a major decision. In the more exciting dual of the night, Tahoma won over Lake Stevens by a score of 32-30. The outcome of the dual all hinged on the final match of the night at 160 pounds between Gunner Starren and Lake Stevens wrestler. There was no doubt from the get go of the match that Tahoma would end up winning the dual. Gunner won easily with a major decision 11-0. The Bears will compete again tonight in their first league dual and first dual ever in the new high school. Tonight is Junior Bears night! Wrestlers from the Junior Bears will be putting on a show of their own prior to our match tonight. We look forward to packing the house with Bear fans! #GoBears

The Bears had their first official outing this Saturday competing at the Auburn Invite. This is a great opening tournament for our team as we see some tough competition right from the start. The number one ranked team in the state, South Kitsap was in attendance along with some other solid teams like Auburn Riverside. This type of tournament gives everyone on our team some tough matches at their ability level. Seven Bears made it to the finals of the tournament and the Bears were able to come away with four champions. Austin Michalski (126), Steele Starren (132) Reid Carlton (145) and Gunner Starren (160) all came away first place ribbons while Cameron Hanson (138), Jake Bir (170) and Michael Gasper (195) all took second place. 

The Bears have some big upcoming matches this week. On Wednesday, December 6th, the Bears will take on Lake Stevens and Bonney Lake at White River High School. On December 7th, the Bears will hold their first home dual of the year! The first home dual is Junior Bears Night! We cant wait to see all of the Junior Bears in attendance!

The Tahoma Bears are coming off a strong 2017 postseason performance and a great summer.  The returning 4A State Champions are eager to kickoff the 2017 -2018 wrestling season. The Bears are looking for some big performances this season from their lighter weight underclassmen. There is going to be a bit of a dog fight for the starting spot at 106 and 113 and the coaching staff is excited to see which wrestlers step up and take the spot. Freshman Parker Boynton made an impact for the team this past summer at several of the tournaments on the Bear’s Summer tour and looks to challenge retuning 106 starter Brayden Swank for the spot this year. Both Brayden and P{arker made huge improvements this offseason and will make a nice one-two punch at the fly weight for the Bears. At 113 pounds, another spot up for grabs in the Bears lineup with  Devan Martin and Adrian Enciso will be battling it out. Freshman Steele Starren will most likely hold down the 120 pound slot for the Bears and has set high goals for himself and the team this season. Though only a freshman, Steele is a veteran of the mat and used to big time competition hoping to be in the mix for a state title this year. At 126 pounds, the Bears return two-time placer and returning state finalist Austin Michalski. Austin is coming of a 2nd place finish last year and took 3rd place as a freshman. Austin is explosive on his feet and tough on top; he will look to continue to improve in the postseason and wants to move over one step up on the podium as he makes a run at his first state title. Another veteran for the Bears, Cameron Hansen will be at 132 pounds.  His goal as a senior will be to  look to improve from his 7th place finish in 2017. Cameron is one of the most aggressive and well conditioned Bears on the squad and he looks to take his “grind em out” attitude to a top finish this season. The middle weights will be filled with an experienced returning group. At 138, junior Jacob “Butters” Vanderwaal will look to step into the varsity lineup as a consistent starter this year after being the bears utility middleweight last year. Jacob was a regional participant last season and looks to be an impacting contributor coming into his junior season. At 145-152 pounds the Bears have three seniors all with state experience. Reid Carlton is tough on his feet and even tougher on top. Reid and several of the other Bears have joined the cross country team this fall and  are looking to an even faster start to the wrestling season than usual. Both Gunner Starren and Ethan Vaughan will be battling it out for the starting slot at 152 pounds this year and will push each other to be at their best come post season. At 160, junior Spencer Bergsma will look to lock down the 160 pound varsity role for the Bears this year season. Spencer has been wrestling for the since he was an elementary aged student with the Maple Valley Junior Wrestling program and has tools and experience to be an impact contributor this year. At 170 pounds, the Bears have returning state participant Jake Bir. Jake has been in the varsity line up since his freshman year and is poised to have a breakout season for the bears come this postseason. At 182 pounds, the Bears look to have junior Max Repenn lead the charge. Max was a starter for the Bears as a freshman but missed his sophomore season due to a season ending football injury. Healthy, strong and explosive as ever, Max has pinning potential at any point in the match and his aggressive style makes for exciting wrestling to watch. The three heavy slots are anchored by some experienced big boys. Junior Gage Dress-Moran looks to improve on his regional championship and state finish last year. At 6-4, Gage is a difficult match up at times for others and has an arsenal of high flying throws that make his matches fun for the crowd to watch. At 220, Senior and returning State Champion Kione Gill returns in pursuit of his second state title. Gill is slick on his feet for a big man and punishing on top, pinning his way through the postseason last year. The heavyweight spot is filled by big man Noah Sturgill. Noah is coming of a solid 2017 season as the Bears heavyweight. Noah is one of the Bears hardest workers and looks to finish out his senior year as one of the top heavyweights in the state this year.

The Tahoma Bears traveled to Oregon State University last weekend to compete in the OSU Northwest Duals. Teams from Washington, Oregon and Idaho all competed in multiple duals, as well as a takedown and individual tournament. The Bears won the tournament going 9-1 overall. The Bears walked through defending 3A State Champions, Bonney Lake. The Bears were expecting more of a fight, but our conditioning and technique was too much for the Panthers this time around. Another big win for the Bears was over University of Spokane. Tahoma won every close match with two overtime victories sealing the win for the Bears. Tahoma's only loss of the tournament came from Crook County, Oregon, a very solid well coached team who have won multiple state championships in Oregon. We were able to avenge the loss after moving out of pools into a bracketed team tournament. 

We love what the OSU Team Camp does for our team. It allows our team to work hand-and-hand with Division 1 Athletes and Coaches. Each night, or team holds a "Champions Practice." We hold the practice late into the night and were lucky enough to have multiple members of Oregon State's wrestling team join us for the practice as well as past OSU All-American Michael Mangrum.

The Bears will next compete this coming weekend in Illwaco, Washington. There will be more great teams and opportunity to improve. Our hope is to get our wrestlers upward of 40 matches this month. Thanks to our booster club for their support of these camps and for everything they do for us. #GoBears   

One of our team’s main goals this off season was to identify and initiate an effective strength training program. We have decided to partner with Volt Athletics and have registered our team for the wrestling specific strength training program. Our athletes are now able to access their off season workouts via a smart phone or computer. All of our athletes have received an invitation for the online training platform via their school email and several of our wrestlers have already maxed out and begun accessing their workouts. The goal of the program is to get three strength workouts per week. One of bonus features to this program is that the team can workout anywhere they want and still follow each other online to see what gains their teammates are making. We are looking forward to seeing the gains that our boys make over the summer. Tahoma Wrestlers, make sure to check your Go Tahoma email and log-in to the Volt training program.

The weight room at Tahoma High School is open Monday thru Thursday form 3-5pm until school is out. Wrestlers that need to record their 3-rep max numbers need to contact Coach Burnham or Coach Feist to set up at time. 

Congrats to senior State Champion Jordan Martinez who signed today with Campbellsville University, in Campbellsville, Kentucky. The Campbellsville wrestling team finished 3rd in NAIA this season. We want to thank Jordan for his leadership in our room and we can't wait to see you on the mats as a Tiger. #GoBears #GoTigers
