The Bulldogs were a little
stingy with letting their oppo
nents have many opportunities
Friday. We tallied up 19 wins
and only eight losses. It is diffi
cult to single out one individ
ual's standout performance
when so many of our kids did
well. It's a great problem to
have! Freshman Nick Blair had
his best performance of the
year winning two close
matches, one 8-7 and the other
10-6. He also lost a close one
2-6. Nick has got a lot of grit.
Jesse Hamann also had one

of his best performances of the
season. Dawson Dollarhide
has gone undefeated two
weeks in a row. He was trailing
against Imbler's Taylor Lane 1-
12 when he got a reversal and
was able to hold Lane for the
fall.That's what we try to coach
and I hope that attitude catches
on with a few of our other
wrestlers. Just because we are
down big doesn't mean the
match is over. All we need is
one good move and we can pin
our opponents. It's difficult to
reach this mentality, but we
have to learn to believe in our
selves even when the score
board is not looking so good.
Logan Valentine won the
most exciting match of the
evening over Clay Johnson
who is one of Grant Union's
stand outs. It was a great
match from the beginning all
the way to the end. Valentine
took a one point lead in the
final 40 seconds of the match.
Johnson was able to get an es
cape to tie the match and then
Valentine earned a takedown
in the final two seconds of the
match.
Next up is Mac-Hi in Milton
Freewater next Thursday. They
are likely going to our toughest
opponent in the GOL races for
League Dual Champions and
Regional Champions. Mac-Hi
did well at the Oregon Classic
and are looking to avenge a
loss to the Bulldogs from last
season.
Next Friday we go to John
Day and then split forces with
our veterans going to Madras
for a tournament on Saturday
and our more inexperienced
wrestlers going to Imbler.
Wrestlers Have Busy Week
By Brandon Young
First was an exciting dual with
Mac-Hi on Thursday, then the Grant
Union Tournament, and then we fin
ished off in Madras at the White
Buffalo Classic. And four of our
younger guys went to Imbler on Sat
urday, as well.
Baker 30, Mac-Hi 47
With only 14 kids in our lineup we
cannot afford to have anyone out.
We had two key wrestlers out and it

hurt us. Hopefully we can get every
one on track by next week and end
with a different result on Thursday
against LaGrande & Payette. We
started at 285. After the 120 pound
match, Mac-Hi had built a 6-13
lead. Whoever won the 120 pound
match was likely going to win the
dual. It was also by far the best
match of the dual. With Elijah Ban
ister trailing 1-6 in the first round,
he battled all the way back and came
within two points, but lost 8-11. We
had to try and come up with a way
of getting the points back. The way
we had it figured the best we could
do after this was 36-41 Mac-Hi. So
we took a gamble at 138 and put
Nick Blair in who did a great job
and gave it all he had. It's a tough
job a freshman to get called up to
the big leagues. I'm proud of Nick,
he went for it! After inserting Nick
we bumped everyone else in our
lineup up a weight class. We took a
gamble and it didn't work. But, that's
all we can do is try to win. Final

State Champ/Muilenburg Champ
Ryan Smith by a 6-0 decision. Peter
Baker defeated Elgin's Vermillion
7-0 and nearly had Chad Witty of
Union. Logan Valentine had the
toughest pod out of everyone today.
Sean Stanford has been working in
the classroom and is fihally eligible.
He went 3-0 on the day.
Madras
We brought nine wrestlers and
were doubled up at 120 pounds
with James AhHee and Elijah Ban
ister. You can only have one scorer
per weight class so we had a total of
only eight scorers out of 14 weight

classes. Our team started out on fire
in the first round with everyone ad
vancing to the next round. We bat
tled back and forth from 1st place
to 3rd in team points throughout the
day with South Albany and Summit
High Schools. Even though Elijah
was not scoring team points he was
still helping block other teams scor
ers from accumulating team points.
In the quarter finals he was losing
to Summit's varsity wrestler
Thomas Brown and battled back to
take the lead in the 3rd round and
then got.the.fall. Elijah finished
with 3rd place.
Peter Baker also finished in 3rd at
170 pounds. He had his hands full
with Logan Blake a stout Bend op
ponent. He told me,"The only thing
I could think about was I can't let
that little freshman (teammate Eli
jah Banister) place higher than me!"
Peter was losing after the first round
2-1 but was able to gain the lead an
hold on for a 4-3 victory.
In the Championship Semi-Finals
James AhHee was losing 6-2 enter
ing the third period and then un
leashed the beast. He went after his
Wilsonville opponent turning him
for a three point near fall with about
40 seconds left in the match. His
opponent was able to fight off his
back and maintain the lead over
AhHee 6-5. But then with about 15
seconds left AhHee turned him
again and got a five count from the
official signifying that as soon as
his opponent came back to his belly
he would be awarded a three pt near
fall, and then the crowed erupted as
AhHee pinned him with literally
one second remaining on the clock!
Marco Vela pinned all of his op
ponents enroute to the finals where
he faced a tank from South Albany,
Ron Beverly. With the team race so
close towards the end of the tourna
ment we put the pressure on Will
Goodwin and he answered by pin
ning his opponent in the Champi
onship Semi-Finals to advance to
the finals. Will finished with 2nd
place.
Logan Valentine had a great tour
nament pinning his first two oppo
nents and then he met Jace
Oppenlander of Madras in the
Championship Semi-Finals. It was
a close match with Valentine trailing
1-2 when he made one mistake and
got taken to his back for the fall. We
can fix that and hopefully get a re
match at the state tournament.
Logan pinned his next opponent
Blake Snow of Bend in the first
round to finish with 3rd place.
Sean Stanford and Dylan Feld
meier both competed very well, but
were eliminated before making it to
a placement round. And our lone
champion was once again Sopho
more Jace Hays with a dominant
performance, pinning all of his op
ponents enroute to the Finals where
he won 11-0 over Quinton McCoy
of Summit. The Bulldogs finished
in 2nd place overall in team points
with 143. South Albany was 1st
with 162 and Summit was 3rd with
129 points.
Next up is LaGrande/Payette on
Thursday at 4pm. Then the Middle
School's "Baker Brawl" on Friday.
And then the high school team trav
els to the Homedale Dual Tourna
ment on Saturday.
