A10 Wednesday, January 22, 2020 The Dalles Chronicle TD Pullen out all the stops Hawks’ sophomore guard sinks game-winner Rodriguez ■ Ray The Dalles Chronicle The Dalles rode an emo- tional roller coaster Friday night in their nip-and-tuck matchup against Crook County. Jacob Hernandez made two big 3-pointers to draw the Riverhawks to within one point, and then the Cowboys turned the ball over with 13 seconds left. Down 67-66, TD head coach Greg Cummings drew up a play and Jaxon Pullen had the ball in his hands and dropped a reverse layup to put the Hawks ahead. Amid the celebratory chaos, initially, time had run out, but officials determined that Crook County called a timeout with 1.5 seconds in regulation.

The second-year grappler pinned Silvestre Mendez (Beaverton) at the 1:34 mark of the first round in his opening match, but then lost by third-round pin versus Madison’s Lane Shaffer (5:49). That quarterfinals loss put Nelson into the consolation bracket, where he claimed two straight wins to advance for a chance at fifth place.

Although they did not place, TD’s quartet of Zak Tackett (113), Angel Oregon (120), Conor Blair (126) and Ophath Silaphath (170) combined to go 6-8 with four pins, an injury default and an overtime triumph. Tackett (11-8 record) start- ed with a third-round pin of Blake Gohlmann (St Helens) at the 5:57 mark, but then lost in the quarterfinals versus Sprague’s Bo Davis (23-7 record) by a 15-0 technical fall after two rounds. Settled in on the consola- tion side, Tackett engaged in an overtime thriller against Liberty’s Emerald Koeppel. Both wrestlers fought to a 6-6 standstill through six minutes of action, until Tackett scored a takedown and a nearfall to grab the 11-6 win. As dramatic as that match was, Tackett had to notch one more win to get a chance to place. Tackett went up against Wilsonville’s Kaden Kramer, and the Wildcat grappler came away with a close 9-7 decision. In the 120-pound division, Oregon picked up a pair of wins, the first coming by injury default. Oregon then lost to St. Helens’ Narcizo Garza (20-7 record) by pin (1:51), and bounced back for a sec- ond-round pin win (2:39) over Jeimer Gonzalez (St Helens). Just like Tackett, Oregon had to defeat Springfield’s Fernando Gonzalez in the consolation semifinals to grab a podium spot, howev- er, Gonzalez dashed those dreams with a second-round pin at 2:44.

Ophath Silaphath (3-4 record) had one win on the day in the consolation round, versus Eduardo Ruiz- Fernandez (22 seconds), but lost in the second round of the consolation semifinals against St. Helens’ Gannon Carter (2:00). “We are so proud of all the boys for what they did this weekend,” Manciu said. “We had five place and another four come so close to placing, so they are getting there.” The Dalles had a novice dual meet versus Hood River Valley and Pendleton Tuesday in Hood River, and heads to the Elks Memorial Tournament at 9:30 a.m. Saturday in Hood River.
