Schlauch becomes second lieutenant

One of the toughest things Kyle Schlauch ever did in his life was step into the jungle and wrestle for the Washougal Panthers.

“I had a rough start as a freshman, but my coaches told me to never hang my head and never give up,” said the 2008 Washougal High School graduate. “I never encountered anything harder than I did in that wrestling room. It was all about pushing yourself farther than you thought you could go.”
