Wolves take care of business at home

Josiah Kipperberg, Brandon Kelly and Brent Chriswell each claimed individual titles while the South Kitsap wrestling team cruised to the team title in its own tournament Saturday, winning the South Kitsap Invitational.

The Wolves scored 199 points while Peninsula was second at 174.5 and Kentlake took third with 166.5.

Kipperberg won the 103-pound title with a first-round pin of Kentlake’s Jon Sanflippo while Chriswell took the 171-pound division with a 5-3 decision over Evergreen’s Justin Schuele. Kelly was awarded the 135-pound title after being illegally slammed.

The Wolves had six wrestlers make the finals as they grabbed their second tourney title of the year. Daniel Mazuti, Lenny Schwartz and Kyle Saltsgaver all placed second.

South faces North Kitsap Tuesday in a dual match before hosting Olympia Thursday in the Narrows League Dual Match cross-over Championship.
