MLHS girls wrestling creates a legacy

MOSES LAKE — When David Peralez, a 2010 graduate of Moses Lake High School, signed on to coach the Maverick girls wrestling team last season, he had the idea in mind to create a program similar to what boys wrestling is in Moses Lake. After a sixth-place finish at state last year, the Moses Lake girls wrestling team is off to a strong start in building its legacy. “It’s always been a dream of mine to have the girls have a program similar to the guys,” Peralez said. “Where it has a great degree of wrestlers coming back, I was more drawn to the idea of building this historic program much similar to the guys, and I think that wrestling is now starting to move towards having more girls participate, which I love seeing.”
