Forks postponed

HOQUIAM — The Spartans had their double-dual meet with Rochester and Hoquiam scheduled for Wednesday night postponed.

Forks and Rochester were scheduled to wrestle at Hoquiam in SWL-Evergreen Division action.

Rochester, however, never showed up even though Forks made the trip all the way to Hoquiam.

“Rochester thought the meet was scheduled for Thursday, even though all our league meets are on Wednesday,” Forks coach Bob Wheeler said.

The Spartans had to drive all the way back to Forks with nothing to show for it.

Wheeler said he wasn’t sure when the meet will be rescheduled.
