Bobcats show mental moxie in victory
WRESTLING
By Ronald Bond
In the 4A championship bracket, the Tigers again
cruised, defeating Cascade in the quarterfinals (64-
18), Tillamook in the semifinals (66-12) and Sweet
Home in the championship (45-19). Tillamook and
Sweet Home were the champion and state runners-up
in 4A a year ago.
Victories by fall — and quick ones — were again
the name of the game against Cascade. La Grande
collected nine pins against the Cougars, three of which
took less than 20 seconds: Brysen Peneloza (106) in 10
seconds over Adrian Cotton, Braden Carson (126) in
17 seconds over Trenton Wymore, and Gerst (220) in
14 seconds over Rion Gage.
The Tigers won six matches by fall in the semifinals.
Peneloza again had the quick match, topping Joshua
Perdew in only 36 seconds.
The Tigers had to work for their win in the final
against Sweet Home, as the Huskies at one point
had a 19-15 lead. But the LHS upperweights came
through to lock up the win. Brody MacMillan (160)
edged out Jesse Jamison by a 6-5 decision and Parker
Robinson (170) claimed a win by forfeit for a 24-21
lead. Nathan Reed (182) extended the lead with a 7-1
decision over Nic James, and Chris Woodworth (195),
Gerst (220) and Shukle (285) all won by fall, with
Shukle wrapping up the match with a 16-second pin.
“Once we started rolling, it kept going,” Klel Carson
said.
The Tigers return to action Thursday when they
travel to Ontario for a dual.
The Observer
UNION — Odin Miller has
been preaching mental tough-
ness to his Union Bobcats.
The Union head coach said
they showed it Friday in how
they countered every run by
the visiting Stanfield Tigers.
Keegan Glenn scored a
game-high 21 points, Cole
McLean had 14 points, and
the Bobcats earned a 57-42
home win in Blue Mountain
Conference play.
“That is a huge thing for us.
We’re trying to work on our
mental strength and mental
discipline,” Miller said. “For us
to be able to respond to their
runs is a huge, huge asset to
our growth.”
Cole McLean scored 14
points and Jace Phillips
added 12 for the Bobcats,
including three 3-pointers in
the first quarter to help give
Union an 11-2 lead. Union,
which never trailed, went
on to lead by as much as 13
points in the first quarter,
held a 10-point lead after
one and led by double figures
most of the night.
“A total team effort I would
say,” Miller said. “Stanfield
came out and wanted to take
Keegan away with a couple
jump defenses. Our other
guys stepped up. They just
simply wouldn’t be denied.
The team was hungry for a
victory and they did what-
ever it took.”
The Bobcats built as much
as a 17-point lead in the
contest and were never truly
threatened by the Tigers, even
when Stanfield did go on a
run.
Stanfield cut the deficit to
eight on five occasions after
the first quarter and used
a 9-2 run in the fourth to
get within 48-39 on a Mario
Sanchez steal and layup with
5:18 to play. But the Bobcats
responded with an 8-2 run,
getting a pair of baskets in-
side from McLean during the
rally, to ice the game.
“A lot of guys stepped up
and gave us big minutes,”
Phillips, who scored all 12 of

his points in the first 11 min-
utes of the game, said. “That
was really key and crucial,
definitely was big to see.”
Phillips added the Bob-
cats were able to stay “calm,
collected and cool” whenever
Stanfield made a push to
cut into the deficit, and that
enabled them to respond.
“That was just us keeping
our composure like (Miller) al-
ways preaches to us,” he said.
“That’s what we’ve been work-
ing on all year and it was good
to see that out of us today.”
