* WRESTLING

SPIRIT LAKE - Pins by senior Tristan Roth at 145 pounds and sophomore Tyler Badertscher at 152 sparked the Timberlake Tigers to a 43-33 wrestling victory over the Lake City Timberwolves on Thursday night.

Roth led 2-0 when he pinned Jacob Farnsworth with 33 seconds left in the match. Badertscher and Derek Wilkinson were tied at 3 going into the second period when Badertscher caught Wilkinson and pinned him at 2:36.

"That really got the momentum going in their direction," Lake City coach Corey Owen said. "If we could have capitalized on those matches, it could have been a completely different dual."

"It started going for us, finally, at 45," Timberlake coach Ryan Montang said. "But 20 (a pin by Tristan O'Brien) and 26 (a decision from Kody Hongslo) were big for us, too."

Lake City (2-4) and Timberlake (2-0) both return to action Jan. 4-5 at the Pacific Northwest Classic at University High in Spokane.
