Travis Bonneau dominated his opponents in his two matches, and even though Carl Hensley split his two matches, losing one in sudden-death overtime, his coach was overwhelming in his praise of Hensley. “Carl is looking as good as he has all year. I just can’t say enough about what he and his teammates are accomplishing at this point of the season.” Jackson also had great things to say about those wres tlers who are not going to be wrestling in the regional tourna ment. “Dean Roth, Sam Fed erico, Adam Reese and Derek Puckett are the ones that stand out. These four guys did every thing and more of what myself and (Assistant) Coach (Mike) Huluska asked them to do. They all filled a number of empty holes whenever we needed them to do so, even when they had to move up a weight class. Coach Huluska and I are so proud of these guys, as well as the rest of the team. It ' is just too bad that their season is now over/’ Jackson said. Next up for the Cougars is the Region 18 Championships, to be held this weekend at North west Colorado Community Col lege in Rangely, Colo. Clacka mas will be sending eight wres tlers to this meet, and Jackson is very confident that his guys will do well. “We just can’t wait for them to begin. We have no doubt that if the guys stay focused and wrestle to the best of their ability, every one of these guys can move on to the national tournament,” he said. The wrestlers that will be competing in Colorado on. Saturday include Blake Tomp kins at 134 lbs., Chad Westover at 142 lbs., David Evans at 150 lbs., Doug Maddux at 158 lbs., Bonneau at 167 lbs., Hensley at 177 lbs., Baurer at 190 lbs. and Sullivan at heavyweight. The top three finishers in each weight class at the Re gion 18 tournament will move on to the National Junior College Athletic Association champion ships, Feb. 26 and 27 in Bis- marck, N.D.
