Since it is obvious that Casey is biased towards the west side schools :D when it comes to sports, I've decided to give you guys a taste on how we do high school sports on the east side.Domination.
Deer Park, which is roughly 15 minutes north of Spokane, didn't just repeat as 2A wrestling state champions. They crushed the field. Here's the blog post from Mike Vlahovich of the Spokesman Review:
Deer Park put all its wrestlers in the finals today - Blake Adams, Drew Acorn, Billy Rhoads, Brandon Leliefield, Cody Miller and Shawn Burton - to wrap up its second straight State 2A championship in convincing fashion. As coach Matt Jorgensen said yesterday, it’s all about putting people through the front door and when you have six it’s pretty hard to lose. The Stags have doubled the score in the field and will approach last year’s 167.5 point total before it’s done.
On the 2A level, most schools have trouble even fielding a full roster of wrestlers since the sport doesn't have quiet the allure of basketball, but apparently the Stags have found themselves a very deep and talented pool of wrestlers.
While it's amazing that they've gotten all their wrestlers into the finals, I find it even more amazing that they have contenders in every single weight class. That's tough to find. Wow.

Anyone see Vision Quest? That must be how they train.
