BREMERTON — It took a two-time state wrestling champion to stop North Kitsap’s Bella Livingston during the 2014 HammerHead Invitational Dec. 19-20.
Livingston won her first two matches in the 130-pound weight class before being pinned by returning state champ Jordyn Bartelson of Puyallup.
Livingston pinned Fife’s Alaina Valenciano in 1:41 in the first round of the tournament.
The North Kitsap wrestler then pinned Sequim’s Aylee Bennet in 3:16 to make it to the semi-finals.
Bartelson pinned Livingston in 2:51 to advance to the finals.
The loss pushed Livingston into the consolation bracket.
