Wrestlers celebrate dual meet victory The Anvil Blasters
to play at vineyard
By rongi yost
Correspondent
Sisters grapplers cel-
ebrated on Tuesday night,
February 9, when they
recorded their first dual
meet win in four years. The
Outlaws defeated the visiting
Junction City Tigers 45-36.
The Outlaws honored
seniors Clayton Darst, Ty
Martin, Zach Reid, and Dyut
Fetrow before the start of the
meet, and then hit the mats,
and forged ahead to the sweet
victory.
Parker Ford (106 pounds)
earned another pin as a varsity
wrestler as a freshman.
Coach John Downs said,
“This match was a tough win,
and I was proud to see him
fight off his back and earn the
pin in the second round.”
Andrew Bates (126
pounds) has been wrestling
at the JV level at 126 pounds,
but because of injury to
the varsity starter, Andrew
stepped up and took on a var-
sity opponent. Bates proved
he could compete at the
higher level, and won by a fall
over Brandon Gilliam in 1:06.
Senior Zachary Reid con-
tinued his domination on the
mat, and won by a fall in 3:03
over Garrett O’ Callaghen.
The win marked Reid’s 13th
win of the season.
“I am excited with this
record, because it should
make it easier to hopefully
get him seeded at the tourna-
ment,” said Downs.
Dyut Fetrow (138 pounds)
pinned Travis Hodgson in
3:50 to mark his 15th win of
the season.
“Dyut is still the hardest-
working wrestler in practice,
and it is now showing,” said
Downs. “The 130-pound
weight class seems to have
been the right choice, and I
hope at the regional tourna-
ment I will be able to seed
him also.”
Dustin Smith (160 pounds)
went three tough rounds
against Sean Herber in the
most exciting match of the
night. The match went all
three rounds with the score
going back-and-forth. Smith
won the tough-fought match
in a 9-8 decision.
“There were many times
Dustin was on his back,
and he could have quit, but
didn’t,” said Downs. “He
fought off his back and
scored enough points to win
by being in better physical
shape. Dustin has worked
so hard in the last two years.
He is committed to wrestling
more than anyone I have ever
coached.”
this has been my best
year ever, and I’ve gotten
19 pins, which is the most
I’ve ever had in one year.
— Clayton Darst
Senior Clayton Darst (170
pounds) pinned Raymond
Bitney in a quick 28 seconds.
“Clayton is headed to the
regional tournament with 19
wins this season so far, and
all of them were pins,” said
Downs. “I am very excited
to see how he will do at
regionals.”
Dalton Ford (113 pounds)
and Casey Warburton (195
pounds) also earned points
toward the team win, as they
won by forfeit.
The seniors commented on
their season so far, and the up-
coming Regionals.
Darst said, “This has been
my best year ever, and I’ve
gotten 19 pins, which is the
most I’ve ever had in one
year. I had a good off-season,
and have worked my hardest
this year. It’s paying off, and
hopefully I can place fourth
or better at Regionals, so I can
go to state, and place at state.”
Zach Reid said, “This is
my best season so far. I’ve
only lost one match in all
the duals, and I hope to go to
state. I’m going to work as
hard as I can to get there.”
Ty Martin said, “It was
great to get our first dual win
of the season. After our pre-
vious losses, everybody was
motivated to win.”
Dyut Fetrow rounded out
the senior comments.
“My opponent tonight
was very strong. I had to
stay patient and focus on my
moves, and got the pin in the
second round with a ‘front
wizard.’ I’m feeling strong
and confident as we head into
Regionals, and I hope my
hard work earns me a first-
place finish.”
The wrestling squad will
compete at the regional
championships, which will
be held at Elmira, Friday and
Saturday, February 19-20.
The state championships
are the following weekend,
Friday and Saturday, February
26-27, at Memorial Coliseum
in Portland.

tequila that has earned The
