The Classic helped Oak Harbor tune up for this week’s show down with Everett on the Wildcats’ mat Thursday, Jan. 13, at 7 p.m.

The two clubs are tied for first in the Wesco 3A standings at 3-0. The Seagulls are ranked seventh in the state. The unranked Wildcats defeated 16th-ranked Shorewood and 20th-ranked Shorecrest last week to move into first with Everett.
