MAT,

Freshman Ricky Vincent
said the entire team would
need to keep their focus on
the wrestlers on the mat.
“We have to stay supportive
through every single match.
That’s what gets me through
when I’m tired, and we need
to do it for everybody,” Vin-
cent said.
McNary had a barnburner
of a dual meet with North
Salem High School Thursday,
Jan. 28.
“I could see it going either
way by about three points be-
cause North Salem always puts
a tough team on the mat and
we’re one of the programs they
set their sights on,” Ebbs said.
With enthusiatic crowds
supporting both teams at the
Salem school, McNary won
the contest 37-30. But a num-
ber of close and/or lengthy
matches kept the outcome in
question until late in the eve-
ning.
Bonn won his match, at 220
pounds, by pin.
“I took some good shots,
but I had trouble getting my
head up and broadening my
chest to keep the guy down
like I should have,” Bonn said.
Vincent outlasted his oppo-
nent in a tough match-up to
win 8-4.
“I didn’t get switched on
my back very often and, when
I did, I was able to switch out
of it pretty quickly,” Vincent
said.
Other Celtic winners were:
Brayden Ebbs in a 6-5 deci-
sion (the match was decided
by a point awarded for stall-
ing); Wyatt Kesler in a 17-4
major decision; Carlos Vincent
by pin; Blake Gerstner in a
10-8 decision; Jesse Gomez by
pin; and Keifer Smith by pin.
Overall, Bonn was happy
with the Celtics’ performance
under pressure.
“I felt like we responded
well. Once we realized what
we were up against, we took
initiative and did what we
needed to do,” said Bonn.
