“They tend to stick with
Iowa because that’s where a lot
of tough wrestlers go and are
from and with Devin going to
Grand View it gave me an op-
portunity there.”
Ebbs thought about play-
ing football in college, too, and
had an offer to participate in
both sports at the University of
Puget Sound in Tacoma, Wash.
“At the end of football
season this year I was kind of
thinking about it because I’ve
played football since I was just
a little kid, too, and I’ve always
loved the sport of football,”
Ebbs said. “But when wrestling
season hit I think that’s when I
decided I just wanted to be a
wrestler. It was just kind of the
leftover feeling from football
being over and how I wasn’t
ever going to play again so I
think that was just me wanting
to keep playing football. But I
think after I got out of that lit-
tle vision my mind cleared and
I decided I just wanted to be a
wrestler.”
Ebbs has been around wres-
tling his entire life. He was only
3 when his dad, Jason, took
over the McNary program in
2003 after being an assistant
coach at Crook County.
“Even at Crook County, I’d
be on my dad’s shoulders as he
was coaching on the side of the
mat,” Ebbs said. “At McNary I
grew into the wrestling com-
munity. I got to know a lot
of the high school wrestlers
and they all took good care of
me. I just made good relation-
footwork, shooting technique,
passing and catching, indi-
vidual and team defense, drib-
bling and rebounding.
Cost is $55 and includes a
camp T-shirt.

ships with the wrestlers which
helped me grow through wres-
tling and helped me become
the wrestler that I wanted to
be.”
When Brayden was 8, Ja-
son saw how much his son
loved the sport. Tired from
high school practice, Jason
told Brayden they could take
the night off from mat club.
Brayden responded, “If I don’t
go to practice, they’re going to
learn something I don’t know.”
At age 10, Ebbs joined the
All-Phase Wrestling Club in
West Linn, and fi nished third
in Greco-Roman and freestyle
at his fi rst national tournament.
In high school, Ebbs won
two district championships
at 138 and 160 pounds. After
placing sixth in the state as a
freshman, he placed fourth as
a sophomore and then third
his senior year. Ebbs said his
favorite match was his fi rst at
the state tournament when as
a freshman he upset No. 1 seed
Bennett Mesa, a sophomore at
Roseburg, who had won the
106-pound title the year be-
fore.
“I think that’s my best
match because I’d spent that

whole season waiting to wres-
tle him and I wanted to wrestle
him,” Ebbs said. “There were
two times that I didn’t get to
wrestle him when we wrestled
against Roseburg and I fi nally
got to wrestle him at the state
tournament and I did exactly
what I needed to do.”
All along the way his dad has
been there.
“It helped me out a lot hav-
ing my dad in my corner be-
cause I never didn’t have faith
in my corner because my dad
was there,” Ebbs said. “I always
went out on the mat confi dent
because we always had a game
plan for anybody that we need-
ed to. He prepared me well
for my matches and just life in
general.
“It’s going to be different
going to Grand View and not
having my dad in my corner
but I think I’m going to be just
fi ne and I think he’s (dad) go-
ing to be just fi ne knowing that
coach (Nick) Mitchell over at
Grand View is an amazing
coach and they have an amaz-
ing coaching staff. It’s going
to be a change but I think it’s
something that’s going to help
me out in the long run.”

Bolton, which entered the
championship game 6-2, had
defeated Dallas at the begin-
ning of the season but then
lost to them later.
“We knew it was going to
be a close game,” Keizer coach
Char Quinones said. “We’ve
got a young team that we start
off with and then we put the
more experienced guys in the
game. That’s what we were
hoping for.”
Goalkeepers Luke Sullinger
(fi rst half) and Landon Storms
(second) kept Bolton in the
game.
