TACOMA DOME — The Kelso girls were able to get four wrestlers through the semifinals on Friday and into the championship round of the 3A brackets as the Lassies chase individual and team glory at the Tacoma Dome in Mat Classic XXXIV.

And while the 4A and 3A grappling action was wrapping up, the 2A/1A/1B/2B girls bracket was just getting into gear. The small schools, including local squads from burgs like Castle Rock, Kalama, Winlock, along with R.A. Long and Mark Morris from Longview, are set to conclude their medal rounds late on Saturday.
