Out last week due to a
stomach bug, Gabbe Haskins
was unable to help her team.
They finished second.
With Haskins healthy and
ready for action Saturday,
The Dalles competitive cheer
squad captured first place in
the small coed division and
added a Varsity Band Dance/
Situational Cheer/Fight Song
division title at the Scotsmen
Rumble held at David
Douglas High School.
“I think that when the girls
had to compete without me
there, it made them learn
to compete under even
more pressure than before,”
Haskins said. “I think that
getting so close to first in our
last competition really made
us want to push hard and
aim for first place this week.
Everybody really pushed
themselves and I wanted to
try to push myself as hard
as they did and try to bring
even more to our future
The Dalles cheer squad pulled off a double win over the weekend at the Scotsmen Rumble held at David Douglas High School. In the back row are, from left to right, Arlet Villa,
Caleb Parsons, Ari Acevedo, Meli Avila, Emily Adams, Stephanie Flores, Giselle Schwartz, Karla Hernandez, Alexa Baldy, Sophia Pullen, Leslie Morales, and Lily Hamm. In the

Riverhawk wrestler Dusty Dodge wins HR Invite title
Junior goes 4-0
in 170-pound
division

At the Hood River
Invitational Saturday, Dusty
Dodge claimed another
title, and teammates Karen
Villa, Steven Preston, Taylor
Morehouse and Miguel
Torres all placed in the top 6
to give The Dalles 11th place
with 58 points.
“Considering the sin-
gle-entry format and the
incredibly tough field, our
kids performed well,” said TD
head coach Paul Beasley.
Starting with his perfect
4-0 record, Dodge moved
his record to 12-0 in the
170-pound division.
The junior won his first
three matches in quick form,
all by first-round pin, as he
dropped Dominick Evans
(La Pine) in 1:22, Auron
Cramer (Thurston) in 1:16
and Quinten Hallgarth (Grant
Union) in 46 seconds.
In the championship,
Dodge waited until the third
round before he took out
Thurston’s Shane Teigen (30-
8 record) at the 4:50 mark.
“Dusty was spectacular on
Saturday, defeating a ranked
wrestler from a very tough
Thurston program,” Beasley
said.
Tipping the scales at 160
pounds, Preston went 2-2
on the day and placed fifth
overall.
Following a bye, the
Riverhawk senior out-
worked Grant Union’s Frank
Douglass (52 seconds),
but then lost his next two
matches to Thurston’s Varney
Doreen (4:28) and Hood
River Valley’s Javier Galvez
(2:25).
Riding for fifth place
output, Preston got back on
The Dalles wrestlers Dusty Dodge, Karen Villa and Steven Preston enjoyed successful weekends at the Hood River Invitational Saturday. Dodge moved his record to 12-0 on
the year after going 4-0 in his 170-pound bracket.

the winning track by pinning
Riverside’s Jose Puerta at 1:19
of the first round.
At 182 pounds, Morehouse
lost his opening match by
pin versus La Pine’s Landen
Roggenkamp (5:59), and after
a consolation round bye,
he pinned Lane Palahnuk
(Thurston) in 1:59 and tacked
on a 16-2 major decision
triumph over Camden
Goldberg (Cleveland).
Morehouse lost in the con-
solation semifinals against
Mountain View’s Ryan
Calderon by major decision
(14-2) and was defeated
in the fifth and sixth place
match with Barlow’s Jackson
Kane in an 8-3 decision.
“Taylor was resilient and
mentally tough, especially
after losing his first match,”
Beasley said. “For him to
come back to take fifth
place, in a very competitive
182-pound bracket, shows
the type of heart you like to
see in a wrestler. He contin-
ues to show improvement,
regardless of the outcome.”
Torres, another senior,
ended up placing sixth after
a 1-3 record, with his lone
victory coming against Yosta
Asimi (Barlow), by major
decision (13-5), in the third
consolation round.
Torres (220 pounds) lost
to Hood River Valley’s Logan
Jensen and Abraham Tinajero
by first-round pins and lost
the fifth and sixth place match
against Thurston’s Dylan
Stephens by fall at 1:49.
Zak Tackett (113 pounds),
Angel Oregon (120) and
Aiden Marx (160) all went
0-2 in two matches apiece,
and Ophath Silaphath (170)
notched a win in three
matches, scoring a first-
round pin over Justin Pineda
(Bend) at the 1:21 mark of the
first round.
While much of the heavy
lifting was done by the veter-
ans, Beasley was encouraged
by his young underclassmen.
“Our freshmen continued
their steady improvement,”
Beasley said. “Marquies
Sagapolutele went 3-0 with
three pins to win his bracket
in the JV meet. Isaac Baker
fought with grit and tough-
ness, and Aiden contin-
ues to impress in varsity
tournaments.”
The girls were on the mats
Saturday and Villa placed
third, Megan Laurentson
posted a 1-2 record and
Elejah Sutton-Lott did not
dress down due to an illness.
In her 125-pound division,
Villa started off by pinning
Erynn Sanders (Forest Grove)
in the third round (3:55)
and then scored an 11-5
decision versus Janessa Bork
(Warrenton).
Villa lost her semifinal
match, 16-0, against Haley
Hewlett (Molalla), but then
beat Katelin Eder (Hillsboro)
by a 10-6 decision.
Kayla Edwards (Century)
and Villa (The Dalles) had a
double forfeit in their third
and fourth place bout.
Laurentson (135 pounds)
pinned Alaina Clar (Oregon
City) at 4:50 of the third
round in her first match to
move on to the quarterfinals,
where she lost to Lindsay
Burrell (Thurston) by pin at
38 seconds. In her consola-
tion match, Laurentson lost
by pin to Centennial’s Jewel
Munoz (1:39)
The Dalles is in Portland
Wednesday and the district
tournament is slated for Feb.
22 in Redmond.
“The team is heading into
the home stretch of the sea-
son,” Beasley said. “We need
to continue to compete with
the emphasis on fighting to
our feet, being dominant on
top and going all six minutes
of the match to be successful
at this time of the season. We
are counting on our veteran
group of seniors to lead the
team in this critical time with
intense practices and helping
the underclassmen make it
through to the district tour-
nament. I believe our group
is very hungry to have suc-
cess and earn a berth in the
state tournament. It will take
a laser focus and confidence
in their abilities to make this
dream a reality.”
