TACOMA, WA (February 24, 2004) - Nathanael Hicks of Grace Community Covenant
Church in Olympia, Washington, placed second in the state high school
wrestling 2A finals at the Tacoma Dome Saturday.
Hicks, a senior at Tenino High School, defeated Brad Groce of Medical
Lake High School 10-4 in the 145-pound division semifinals before
dropping a 7-5 decision to Craig Jackson of Mt. Baker High in the
