According to reporting by KOIN 6 News, the Molalla Police Depart- ment is also investigating the Molalla-Gladstone event as a “potential crime and bias-based incident.” None of the aforementioned allegations of racial bias involving Oregon schools OSAA Continued from Page A7 Concerns about the “hospitality person” were raised by repre- sentatives of the smaller schools because of the mul- tiple roles that many staff already fi ll during those events. However, as a whole the committee supported the idea. The committee expressed the importance of this position for playoff competition, as these games will usually involve schools WRESTLING Continued from Page A7 Kai Carson has been pro- ductive at 132 this year, compiling a 33-3 record. The sophomore will seek to bring home a title at the 132-pound level to round out a strong season. Sophomore Mason Wol- cott has been a consistent placer at the 113-pound level and will look to keep the momentum going at the dis- trict meet. On the opposite end of the spectrum are heavy- weights Brody MacMillan (220) and Cole Jorgensen (285). MacMillan went 19-7 on the year and recently defeated reigning state champion Gauge Bloomer of Baker during a dual on Jan. 25. Junior Jarett Armstrong will also look for solid results at the 195-pound level after going 18-12 on the year.

One quick topic of dis- cussion by the committee was the Student Advi- sory Council. The stu- dent council will be able to provide student input on OSAA policy and pro- cedure, which is entirely drafted and implemented by adults. The deadline to apply for the group was Friday, with the fi rst meeting planned for March. The next meeting of the Equity and Diversity Com- mittee will be on March 29. ibly deep across the board, perhaps even more so than La Grande’s state title team in 2019-20. “I feel like our depth this year is really good,” Klel Carson. “I feel like in a couple weights, if things go well we could wrestle each other in the fi nals.” The coach noted that a younger wrestler who could be due for a big perfor- mance is freshman Bobby Gulzow at 106. Upper- classmen Eli Bisenius (160), MyKail Foster (160), Dom- inick Carratello (152) and Coby Hibbert (160) could all be some of the names on La Grande’s deep 2022 roster who compete for a district title. The district meet is set to start on Feb. 11 at Sisters High School and conclude on the following day. “The kids are working really hard and I think their minds are in a good place,” Klel Carson said. “I think it’s going to be a good fi nish and I’m looking for- ward to it.” ON THE SLATE Tuesday, Feb. 8 PREP BOYS WRESTLING PREP BOYS BASKETBALL La Grande at 4A Special District 4, Sisters High School, TBA Elgin at Cove, 5 p.m. La Grande at Baker, 7:30 p.m. Weston-McEwen at Union, 7:30 p.m. PREP GIRLS BASKETBALL La Grande at Baker, 6 p.m. Weston-McEwen at Union, 6 p.m. Elgin at Cove 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 9 PREP BOYS BASKETBALL La Grande at Ontario, 4:30 p.m. PREP SWIMMING La Grande, Cove at 1A/2A/3A/4A Special District 2, Madras High School, TBA Saturday, Feb. 12 COLLEGE MEN’S BASKETBALL Northwest at Eastern Oregon, 5 p.m. COLLEGE WOMEN’S BASKETBALL Thursday, Feb. 10 Northwest at Eastern Oregon, 3 p.m. COLLEGE WOMEN’S WRESTLING COLLEGE TRACK AND FIELD Eastern Oregon at Corban, 6:30 p.m. PREP BOYS BASKETBALL Joseph at Powder Valley, 8 p.m. PREP GIRLS BASKETBALL Joseph at Powder Valley, 6:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 11 COLLEGE MEN’S BASKETBALL Evergreen State at Eastern Oregon, 7:30 p.m. COLLEGE WOMEN’S BASKETBALL PREP BOYS BASKETBALL PREP GIRLS BASKETBALL Elgin at Imbler, 5:30 p.m. McLoughlin at La Grande, 6 p.m. Union at Grant Union, 6 p.m. Wallowa at Joseph, 6 p.m. Enterprise at Pilot Rock, 6 p.m. Cove at Powder Valley, 6 p.m. COLLEGE BASEBALL Eastern Oregon at Pacifi c, noon Eastern Oregon at Pacifi c, 3 p.m. COLLEGE SOFTBALL Eastern Oregon at Willamette, 2 p.m. COLLEGE WOMEN’S LACROSSE Eastern Oregon at Whitworth, noon PREP BOYS BASKETBALL Powder Valley at Elgin, 5:30 p.m. Imbler at Pine Eagle, 5:30 p.m. Griswold at Joseph, 5:30 p.m. Weston-McEwen at Enterprise, 5:30 p.m. PREP GIRLS BASKETBALL Powder Valley at Elgin, 4 p.m. Imbler at Pine Eagle, 4 p.m. Griswold at Joseph, 4 p.m. Weston-McEwen at Enterprise, 4 p.m. PREP BOYS WRESTLING La Grande at 4A Special District 4 Championships, Sisters High School, TBA Imbler at Pine Eagle Invitational, TBA PREP SWIMMING La Grande, Cove at 1A/2A/3A/4A Special District 2, Madras High School, TBA COLLEGE MEN’S BASKETBALL Cascade Collegiate Conference Team League Overall College of Idaho 16-2 22-4 Oregon Tech 15-2 18-7 Southern Oregon 11-6 14-11 Corban 11-7 16-10 Warner Pacifi c 10-8 14-12 LC State 9-8 16-9 Eastern Oregon 8-10 14-12 Multnomah 8-10 12-14 Northwest 7-11 10-13 Bushnell 6-12 8-17 Evergreen 3-15 3-19 Walla Walla 2-15 3-21 COLLEGE WOMEN’S BASKETBALL Cascade Collegiate Conference Team League Overall LC State 14-3 20-3 Southern Oregon 14-3 21-4 Eastern Oregon 14-4 17-9 Bushnell 13-5 16-10 Oregon Tech 10-7 17-7 Warner Pacifi c 10-8 12-11 Northwest 8-10 14-11 College of Idaho 8-10 14-12 Evergreen 6-12 7-14 Multnomah 5-13 5-20 Corban Walla Walla 3-15 1-16 4-21 2-22 PREP BOYS BASKETBALL 4A Greater Oregon League Team League Overall Baker 4-0; 5-4 McLoughlin 2-2 3-11 La Grande 1-1 10-2 Ontario 0-3 0-11 2A Blue Mountain Conference Team League Overall Heppner 9-1 17-3 Stanfi eld 9-2 15-9 Union 6-4 12-9 Weston-McEwen 4-5 10-9 Pilot Rock 3-7 6-15 Grant Union 3-7 4-16 Enterprise 1-9 3-17 1A Old Oregon League Team League Overall Powder Valley 7-0 18-1 Nixyaawii 7-2 17-6 Cove 7-3 9-8 Joseph 6-2 8-8 Imbler 5-5 7-14 Pine Eagle 4-6 7-11 Wallowa 3-6 5-14 Griswold 1-8 2-17 Elgin 0-8 0-13 PREP GIRLS BASKETBALL 4A Greater Oregon League Team League Overall Baker 4-0 15-5 La Grande 3-1 10-7 McLoughlin 2-3 7-8 Ontario 0-5 0-15 2A Blue Mountain Conference Team League Overall Union 9-1 18-3 Stanfi eld 9-2 19-4 Enterprise 7-3 12-9 Grant Union 5-5 8-12 Weston-McEwen 2-7 9-12 Heppner 2-8 7-12 Pilot Rock 1-9 5-17 1A Old Oregon League Team League Overall Nixyaawii 9-0 18-4 Wallowa 7-3 13-7 Joseph 6-2 9-7 Powder Valley 6-3 10-10 Imbler 6-4 8-13 Elgin 4-5 7-12 Griswold 1-8 5-14 Cove 2-8 3-14 Pine Eagle 1-9 2-16 Losing Your HEARING or are your ears just plugged with EARWAX?
