  Sunnyside rolls to CBBN 3A district title (w/ gallery)

  RICHLAND — Cynics might regard the CBBN 3A district wrestling tournament as little more than seeding for next week's regional, with very little do-or-die action as six wrestlers in each weight advance from a field of eight schools.

  But the soft landing secured by all those regional berths didn't take away from the hard-fought finals sorted out Saturday night at Hanford High School.

  It didn't stop twin brothers going all out against each other in a reenactment of so many back-yard brawls. It didn't take away the sweet taste of revenge another wrestler had been craving all season, nor the thrill of winning the rubber match in a season-long rivalry between two state-ranked opponents.

  Sunnyside lands 3A regional title

  Last weekend, Hanford senior Joe Traverso declared the CBBN 3A district tournament was tough enough to be its own regional.

  Turns out the Falcons' 170-pound senior was pretty spot on with his analysis.

  Tri-Cities teams swept all three state berths in that weight Saturday at the Eastern Washington 3A regional wrestling tournament at West Valley High in Spokane.
