Washougal girls claim county title

Considered underdogs to the 4A league powerhouse from Union High School, the Washougal High girls wrestling team entered the Clark County Wrestling Championships on Jan. 12, with a fighting spirit and an eye on overall points.

The Union wrestlers likely thought they had the championship title in the bag. After all, their team won the tournament last season and the Washougal Panthers were coming from a much smaller division at 2A instead of 4A.
