Wrestlers compete at
Stayton Invitational
By Rongi Yost
Correspondent
Sisters wrestlers competed
at the Stayton 8-way Dual
Invitational held at Stayton
High School on Saturday,
December 15. The tourna-
ment was a crab-pool com-
petition with four teams in
one pool, and four teams
in another. The Outlaws’
pool included Ridgeview,
Jefferson, and South Salem
High School. Stayton,
Reynolds, St. Helens, and
Willamina were in the other
pool.
The Outlaws were able to
get three dual matches from
their pool, and then picked
up an extra match against
Reynolds at the end of the
day. Sisters had to give up
seven weight classes, but still
held their own against their
opponents, and won their
dual against Jefferson.
Dalton Ford was back in
the Outlaws line-up at 126
pounds, after being out last
week due to a chest injury.
Dalton did a great job, and
won three of his matches,
two with a pin and one due to
forfeit.
Coach John Downs
explained that when a team
receives a forfeit, it’s worth
six team points, the same as
if they pin an opponent.
Rylan Carter, 132 pounds,
injured his wrist, and the
Outlaws were lucky that JV
wrestler Michael Zoormajian
was able to fill in at the var-
sity spot. Michael did very
well competing at the higher
level as a freshman, and
earned points for the team
with a win.
Junior Anthony Randolph
pinned all four of his oppo-
nents, and had a tremendous
day going undefeated in the
tourney.
Austin Pade won three
of his four matches. Downs
told The Nugget that Pade
“still hesitates to shoot, but
his ground work has greatly
improved.”
Junior Ethan Martin also

had a good showing, and won
three of his four matches.
His loss was to Jackson from
Ridgeview, who took second
at the Culver Invitational last
weekend at 182 pounds.
“Ethan took second at
195 pounds at the Culver
Tournament, so we were very
excited to see these two go
head-to-head,” said Downs.
The JV wrestlers also did
well at the tourney. Chaz
Patterson won two of his
three matches, and Daisy
Patterson went one and one.
“Overall, I feel the team
is really starting to progress
positively in all aspects,” said
Downs. “We have been really
working on shots, escapes,
and speed.”
The Outlaws will compete
at Molalla High School on
Saturday, December 22.

could have been as early as
the 1600s.
Parisian bakers popular-
ized the cake in the 19th cen-
tury, and different bakeries
became known for their more
elaborate decorations.
Fruitcake!
Every year at Christmas it
shows up. People bring fruit-
cake as gifts, they make jokes
about it, and sometimes they
even eat it! Love it or hate it,
fruitcake never goes away.
What’s the story behind this
sturdy seasonal dessert?
It’s not just a cake with
some fruit inside. The fruit
and nuts for fruitcake must
be dried or soaked in sugar.
All of that is loaded up into a
very heavy cake. Because of
the sugar, fruitcake doesn’t go
bad for a long time. There are

even fruitcakes that are still
OK to eat after being kept for
25 years. One family has held
onto a fruitcake for over 130
years! It’s a family heirloom
so no one is looking to eat it.
The history of fruitcake
goes way back, all the way
to ancient Rome. A recipe
from 2,000 years ago had
pomegranate seeds, pine nuts
and raisins mixed into a cake
made from barley mash. Later
in the Middle Ages, fruit-
cakes with honey, preserved
fruit and spices were popu-
lar. From the 19th century on
fruitcake became a traditional
wedding cake in England.
Fruitcake gets around!
There are many different ver-
sions all over the world. In
Germany fruitcake is called
stollen and has powdered
sugar on top. Italy has pan-
forte or panettone. Poland and
Bulgaria call it keks.
December 27 is National
Fruitcake Day, but then a
little more than a week later
it’s Fruitcake Toss Day on
January 7. One town in

Fruitcake has a long history.
Colorado takes getting rid
of their unwanted fruitcake
very seriously. Every year,
Manitou Springs has a contest
to see who can throw their
fruitcakes the farthest and
with the greatest accuracy.
People build catapults, sling-
shots, or just hurl the cakes
by hand. To make up for all
the lost food, everyone com-
peting has to bring a donation
to the local food bank — any-
thing except fruitcake!
