Sisters took 15 of their
19 wrestlers to the Madras
Invitational held on Saturday,
January 24, and for the first
time in Sisters High School’s
wrestling history the Outlaws
had a full line-up and filled
all 14 weight classes.
Fourteen teams were in
attendance including first
place finisher South Albany
(162 points), and Baker who
was runner-up (143 points).
Summit took third with 129
points and Burns finished
fourth with 128.
Three Outlaws made it to
the podium.
Junior Clayton Darst
earned a second-place fin-
ish at 160 pounds. Clayton
matched up against Haakon
Kjellesvik from Bend in his
first match of the tournament.
Kjellesvik was seeded second
and came in with a record of
14-6. Darst won the match
in a huge upset, which really
boosted his morale. Darst
went on to pin Ian Locke of
Wilsonville to earn a spot in
the first- and second-place
finals. Clayton lost in the
finals to Austin Warr for a
second-place finish.
Cole Pade (freshman) at
his new weight class of 115
pounds earned a fourth-place
finish.
“It’s not every day you see
a freshman wrestler earn a
spot in the top four of a tour-
nament,” said Coach John
Downs. “Pade has done this
now several times this sea-
son. He is proving that he is a
force to reckon with.”
Junior Mitch Gibney was
pinned for the very first time
this year by Brent Yeakey
from Ridgeview (16-1
record) who was seeded first
at the tourney.
“Mitch has been very suc-
cessful this season, but finally
got a wake-up call when
he ran into Yeakey,” said
Downs. “This loss obviously
was needed to show Gibney
at what level he needed to
wrestle at because he went
on to pin the next three oppo-
nents earning himself a fifth-
place finish. Using pure brute
strength, he fought his way
through. It was not the pret-
tiest match in his history, but
he knows how to not give up
and muscle through to get the
job done.”
Downs was pleased that
his squad was able to fill all
14 weight classes. Pade was
able to reach his goal of 115
pounds and freshman Patrick
Dingeman was able to reach
the 184 weight class. Chayce
Sproat continued to wrestle at
the 145-pound weight class
although he only weighs 139
pounds.
“With these young wres-
tlers stepping into these var-
sity roles, it has shown the
rest of the team the commit-
ment and desire they have to
continue to build this new era
of Outlaws Wrestling,” said
Downs.

broke his ankle over the
weekend and will have sur-
gery and be out for four to six
weeks.
“Casey has been such
a valued member of this
team and with this injury he
will be truly missed at prac-
tice,” said Downs. “We want
everyone that knows him to
send him wishes for a speedy
recovery.”
Downs was very happy
with his wrestlers and their
performances at the tourney.
“Individually, each wres-
tler showed improvement,”
said Downs. “From the fresh-
man to the seniors, all of the
wrestlers were incredibly
motivated to be on the mat.
None of them backed up,
which we have been work-
ing on in practice, as well
as being aggressive on the
whistle. It was great to see
that the last couple weeks of
practice that have concen-
trated on exploding off of the
whistle, and lots of 30 second
live wrestling rounds, have
been worth the time. The
team is improving by leaps
and bounds.”
Sisters will match up
against Elmira and Culver
at home on Thursday,
January 29.

Have you been in an Auto Accident?
After an accident, it is important to
be examined as soon as possible.
Your car is being examined by competent profes-
sionals, and your body needs the same attention.
Getting examined in the fi rst 4
weeks is crucial to healing quickly
and correctly. With chiropractic
care, your doctor may uncover
hidden damage, help avoid
pain now and in the future,
and gently correct your injuries to heal properly.
