Tigers put four
wrestlers in top
four at Rollie
Lane Invitational
Observer staff
LA GRANDE — Three
members of the La Grande
Tigers boys wrestling team
placed in the top four over
the weekend to help La
Grande to a sixth-place
fi nish at the Rollie Lane
Invitational in Nampa,
Idaho, a tournament head
coach Klel Carson said was
tougher than the Tri-State
Invitational and the Sierra
Nevada Classic, the two
most recent tournaments La
Grande had been in.
“There were over 90
teams. Some of the weight
classes were unbelievable.
We fi nished as the highest
Oregon school,” Carson said.
Nathan Reed — who
suffered a season-ending
injury in this tournament
a year ago — led the Tigers
with a second-place fi nish at
182 pounds. Reed went 5-1
and reached the fi nal with a
close 6-5 decision over Crook
County’s Kyle Knudtson
before dropping a 5-2 deci-
sion in the fi nal to Wendell,
Idaho’s Remington Winmill.
Parker Robinson, who
went 6-1 at 170, recovered
from his fi rst loss of the
season, an 8-6 sudden victory
loss to Meridian, Idaho’s Ka-
leb Smith to win his fi nal two
matches and defeat Lake-
land, Washington’s Colton
Boettcher in the third-place
match by injury default.
Chris Woodworth went
5-2 to take fourth at 195.
He won his consolation
semifi nal match by injury
default over Capital, Idaho’s
Abe Turpen, but dropped a
3-1 match by sudden victory
to Nyssa’s Adam Simpson in
the third-place match.
Gabe Shukle (285
pounds) and Joshua Collins
(113) both fi nished with
4-2 records on the day,
and Braden Carson (132),
Braxton Bisenius (145) and
Spencer Gerst (220) were
each 3-2.
In the girls tournament,
Delia Gulzow went 4-2 to
place fourth and help the
LHS girls to a 20th-place
fi nish.
Gulzow won three match-
es by fall at 101. She won
three matches in a row to
reach the third-place match,
including a 14-0 major deci-
sion over Timberline, Idaho’s
Samantha Del Fierro, but
fell in the third-place match
to Pasco, Washington’s
Mariah Hinojosa, who won
by an 11-2 major decision.
Luca Willins was the
other LHS girls wrestler to
win multiple matches, going
3-2 at 116. She had three
wins in a row, including an
8-6 decision over Baker’s
McKay Anderson for her
fi nal victory of the tourna-
ment.
La Grande is back in
action Wednesday when it
hosts Baker in its only dual
at LHS this season.
EAGLES TAKE FOURTH
AT JO-HI
Jonah Staigle claimed a
tournament title over the
weekend to help Joseph/
Wallowa to a fourth-place
fi nish at its home tourna-
ment, the Jo-Hi Invitational,
in Joseph.
Staigle took the champi-
onship at 220 pounds with
just two wins, earning a 14-6
major decision over Union/
Cove’s Michael Day in the
fi nal for the title.
The Eagles had four ad-
ditional top-three placers.
Jett Peterson went 1-1 at
106 for third place, and
Lute Ramsden (126), Zeb
Ramsden (145) and Ronny
Morello (170) all went 3-2 to
place third. All of Morello’s
wins came by fall.
Day was one of two second-
place fi nishers for Union/
Cove, which took fi fth as a
team. Day went 1-1 at 220.
Gage Martens also went 1-1
to take second at 106, losing
by fall to Culver’s Debren
Sanabria in the fi nal.
Levi Hammond went
3-1 at 152 to take third for
the Bobcats, and Carter
Blackburn (145) and Damon
Nipper (220) each took
fourth, Blackburn doing so
following a three-win effort.
Reece McConnell (145)
and Joe Lathrop (132)
placed second and third,
respectively, to lead Elgin to
a sixth-place fi nish. McCon-
nell went 2-1, edging Union/
Cove’s Zeb Ramsden by a
5-4 decision in the semifi -
nals before dropping a 6-1
decision to Culver’s Anthony
Hood in the fi nal. Lathrop
went 3-1 for his third-place
fi nish, pinning Pine Eagle’s
Dusty Mehchoir in the third-
place match.
Trace Evans claimed
another tournament title
as he went 3-0 at 138 to
lead Enterprise. Evans won
all three of his matches by
technical fall, including a
17-2 win over Dayton, Wash-
ington’s Carlos Norris in the
championship match.
Drew Widener went 1-1
to take third at 285 for the
Outlaws, pinning Culver’s
Wylie Johnson in the third-
place match, and Charlie

Enterprise used a strong

10-2 in the period — to put
the Prospectors away after
they had stayed within 10
points at halftime.

seven points for the Outlaws,
while Ashlyn Gray grabbed

Weston-McEwen used a

a nine-point lead. Imbler
hung around and pulled
within 13-8 at the half, then
inched closer in the third.
Kenna Whitmore scored all
of her team-high nine points
in the third, with a 3-pointer
cutting the defi cit to 19-16,
and a steal and jumper in
the closing seconds of the
third keeping Imbler within
three at 24-21.
But Bailey Munck, who
had 13 points for Weston-
McEwen, scored seven of
those in the fourth to help
the TigerScots hold on for
