Foley finishes 1st, Banry 2nd at Logger Invite

posted 01/28/04
Friday Harbor's Dane Foley won the 135-pound title at the Darrington Invitational Saturday, Jan. 24. Britt Banry placed second in the 160-pound class and Andrea Champlin was runner-up in the 103-pound division.

Jason Grone (171) finished third for the Wolverines. Bill Burns (125), John Gossom (171), George Meyer (189) and Pete Grosjacques placed fourth.

The Wolverines sprang back after a rough start at Archbishop Murphy the previous day. "We just went in Saturday morning and looked like a whole 'nother team," said Friday Harbor coach Gordy Banry. "They weren't easy wins either. We just wrestled excellent."

An injury hampered Britt Banry in the title match. He suffered a cut over an eye in the final. His coach, and father, stopped the bleeding with butterfly bandages but feared they wouldn't hold. Other coaches suggested using athletic tape. Hurrying to beat the timeout clock, the Gordy Banry applied the tape without gauze. He taped over one eye and half-covered the other. "Britt was basically wrestling the second round blind," Banry said.

Pete Grosjacques (275) tied the match by stopping his opponent in 19 seconds. Andrea Champlin (103) won by forfeit, clinching the Wolverine victory.
