The Kodiak High School Bears wrestling squad took sixth in the 39-team Lancer Smith Invitational over the weekend at Palmer High School. South edged Wasilla by a point-and-a-half to claim the title.
Leo Sega took the title at 285-pounds, while Andrew Caballa at 120 and Kerry Powers at 195 were both second.

The Bears have this weekend off, but will be participating in the North-South tournament the first weekend in December.
