Mount Si wrestlers squeeze by Eastlake
January 27, 2009
Seven wins, including four by way of fall, were just enough for the Mount Si wrestling team at Eastlake Jan. 22.
The Wildcats picked up falls from Dan Peterson, Ben Larson, Shane Dixon and Doc Derwin, before holding off a late surge by the Wolves to post a 36-33 dual victory. Even though it was close, Mount Si still wasn’t feeling too fortunate — not after losing by a single point just one day earlier.
The Wildcats were, however, feeling grateful about getting a win.
Doc Derwin goes for the pin in the 189-pound match against Eastlake on Jan. 22. Derwin earned his pin and the Wildcats defeated the Wolves, 36-33.

When Ryan Ransavage runs out on the wrestling mat, he doesn’t look all that intimidating. He doesn’t look that strong. He doesn’t even look that quick.
Then again, he doesn’t much look like a pioneer either.
Nevertheless, the Mount Si senior is playing all four parts quite well this winter. Using a rare combination of strength and speed, the heavyweight has launched himself to a No. 2 state ranking in his weight class.
Mount Si senior Ryan Ransavage throws around 285-pound wrestlers like overmatched weights.
