Joe Beam Invitational
BELLINGHAM — Four Mount Vernon wrestlers won titles at the Joe Beam Invitational, leading the Bulldogs to a third-place finish at Sehome High School.

Heavyweight Danial Osburn was named the tournament’s outstanding wrestler after capturing his division. He beat Blaine’s Shane Hicks (fourth in Class 2A state at 189) in the finals.
Joining him at the top of the podium were George Hausauer (125), Joey Curry (135) and Brad Rabenstein (215).

Rabenstein pinned every opponent.

Levi Koetje (119) and Conner Johnson (160) also reached the finals for the Bulldogs, who finished with 249.5 team points. Squalicum won with 295, followed by Blaine’s 272.

“We seem to be on an improvement curve,” Bulldogs coach Rex Febus said. “I’m really happy with the way we wrestled. We were better this week than last week, and if I can say that every week, I’ll be happy.”
