Federal Way's form of government, now in place for nearly 18 years, faces its first significant challenge from a group of vocal citizens who want to reshape the city's political infrastructure.

An evening of lop-sided matches worked in the Gators' favor last Thursday night, as the Decatur wrestling squad emerged from the rubble victorious on their home mat.
Only four of the evening's 14 battles resulted in a decision. The others ended up with one wrestler pinned, usually quickly into the match.
