Don York Wrestling Tournament Sunday, January 20, 2008

More than 350 high school wrestlers gather on five mats at Cleveland High School Jan. 19 for the Don York Tournament.

The Don York Tournament is named for the man who coached the Cleveland HS wrestling team in the 1970s and early '80s. Seventeen schools from Portland and the Willamette Valley sent their varsity and junior varsity squads to the two-day event.
