Portland Wrestling Season off to a Strong Start

On Wednesday the Boys Raider Wrestling Team traveled to Lansing Catholic for a CAAC White League matchup. The Raiders won handedly 78-5 recording 13 pins or forfeits. The Raiders then took on Haslett in their CAAC crossover dual, recording a perfect 84-0 score. This is the first time this score has been recorded by a Raider Wrestling Team in over 10 years!

Saturday, both the Varsity Girls and Varsity Boys competed. The Girls traveled to Howell for an individual tournament where they won 50% of their matches and came away with 8th place out of 32 teams. As a team only in their 2nd season, this is outstanding!

The boy's varsity team hosted 5 other teams in their dual tournament, where teams battled each other to establish the highest team score they can. The Raiders had an impressive showing winning 4 of their 5 duals. Beating Corunna by 58-15, Gladstone 58-12, Coldwater 74-5 and Leslie 43-27. Portland tried to revenge their 2023 loss at team states against Algonac, but came up short in a back-and-forth dual 27-41.

Portland will host Olivet, DeWitt, and Mason on Wednesday at 5:30p where the Varsity Boys and Girls will have multiple dual matches. The Girls and Junior Varsity will travel to Fowlerville on Saturday for an individual tournament.
