Four Warriors medal at Mat Classic; Butler siblings shine in Tacoma
TACOMA — The Almira/Coulee-Hartline Warriors brought home some hardware from this year’s Mat Classic. Siblings Karis and Noah Butler won their state finals matches to become state champions. According to Head Coach Brandon Walsh, it’s been a while since a pair of siblings won state titles together. “A couple of brothers back in ’ 99 a long time ago,” he said. “It's a credit to them. Those kids work so hard. They love wrestling, they wrestle all year round. They're leaders in the room, (we) just couldn't be happier for them. That's fantastic in the world of wrestling.”
