EASTERN: Mac-Hi alum Pancho Saldana falters BUCKAROOS:

East Oregonian
Continued from 1B
of cutting over the top of
the hill there and hopefully
tonight is what gets us over
the top and we keep building
off this.
“We wanted to come out
(to Hermiston) and show-
case our team, and let them
know what we’re about. We
want to get out there and find
local talent, and hopefully
they want to come over and
wrestle with and help with
this tradition and just get it
going and developing.”
The night also featured
six women’s matches,
though they did not count
toward the team score, with
EOU and Warner splitting
them.
The dual began with
the match of the night as
No. 13 125-pounder Mhar
Caballa of EOU scored an
8-7 sudden victory over No.
12 Josh Johnson. Caballa
scored the final point 15
seconds into the extra period
when he evaded Johnson’s
aggressive shot and slipped
around behind him for a
takedown.
“I’m pretty stoked,
because this is one of the
duals we’ve actually won
(as a team),” Caballa said. “I
mean, things are falling into
place and we’re peaking at
the right time.”
Caballa, a sophomore
from Kodiak, Alaska, found
himself trailing Johnson 6-4
after the second period, and
used an escape 30 seconds
into the third to make it 6-5.
Almost immediately he was
back on the offensive with a
shot, but like he had repeat-
edly done already, Johnson
was able to block and forced
a stalemate by reaching over
Caballa’s back and latching
on around his waist.
A restart with 1:03 left
got the action back to the
center of the mat, and
Johnson looked to finish off
Caballa with a shot at the
:42 mark, but was stopped
in his tracks and forced to
retreat. Caballa took the
opportunity to mount a
counterattack and with 31
seconds left found his way
past Johnson’s defenses to
land a shot for a takedown
and a 7-6 lead.
“At first I couldn’t finish
my shots. I got to a lot of
shots, I just couldn’t finish,”
Caballa said. “I heard (my
coach) from the corner and
he was telling me to stick
to double legs and get two
hands on the legs and all
that, and it helped out a lot.”
He couldn’t make it
hold, though, and Johnson
escaped to tie the score with
10 seconds left.
Caballa said he felt like
he had an advantage going
into the one-minute over-
time.
“I felt like I had good
conditioning, I just had to
believe in my conditioning,”
he said. “My coach trains us
pretty well and we practice
overtime all the time. (I
wanted to) just keep pushing
the pace, pretty much.”
Azure said he wouldn’t
be surprised to see that
match play out again later
this season.
“That’s going to be
another match to look
forward to, we’re both in
the same region so I’m sure
they’ll meet up again,” he
said. “The region at 125
(pounds) is just tough all the
way around so it’s just going
to be a fun weight to watch.”
Warner Pacific’s Josh
Crager got the Knights
on the scoreboard in the
133-pound match with a 7-5
win, but Eastern won each of
the next three to take a 19-3
lead. The 157-pound match
ended with an injury default
after Warner’s Timmy
Riviera experienced painful
cramping in his calf before
the match even started.
Riviera tried to tough it out
on one leg, but lasted just
30 seconds before he had to
throw in the towel.
That brought up the
women’s freestyle portion
of the evening.
Cassidy Freeman (109
pounds), Jessica DeHart
(109), and Amber Pair (123)
each won by technical fall
for Eastern.
Freeman won her match
15-4 early in the second
round, DeHart won 10-0
after just 1:48, and Pair
picked up a 12-2 victory in
the second period.
EOU junior Brandon
Davidson made sure the
men picked up right where
they left off with a 12-1
win over Jesse Johnson at
165 that made it 23-3 and
secured the win with just
three more matches and a
forfeit coming at the heavy-
weight division for Warner
Pacific. Davidson was up
3-0 after one period, and 7-0
after two.
Warner’s Miguel Simon
won 5-2 at 174, then Joe
Dickinson held on to beat
Eastern’s Pancho Saldana
6-3 at 184 for their only
other win.
Saldana, a senior from
Milton-Freewater, finished
each period in a position of
leverage, but Dickinson was
saved by the buzzer each
time.
“I’ve just got to get
around the corner a little
faster and finish on my
takedowns, that was the
difference on that match,”
Saldana said.
For Saldana, who is also
an NAIA All-American
javelin thrower for the
Mountaineers, the chance
to be a part of wrestling’s
return to EOU was some-
thing he didn’t want to miss
out on.
“Once Coach came to
visit and I knew he had the
head job, I went up to him
and asked if I could join the
wrestling team,” he said.
“It’s a great opportunity
and I’m glad he gave me
the opportunity to join the
team.”
Azure said he was
happy to have an athlete of
Saldana’s caliber already on
campus.
“I knew he was a hard
worker coming in. I was
able to watch the end of the
track season, his throwing,
so I watched him get in the
weight room all the time.
He was busting his butt in
there,” Azure said. “I figured
it was going to carry over
when he hit the mat and it
has. He gets out there and he
does whatever you tell him
to do and he’s an easy one to
coach. He’s been off the mat
for so long, I wish we could
have had him a couple more
years.”
Saldana said it’s been a
rewarding experience, even
if he wasn’t able to pull out
the win in front of some old
friends and family that had
come to watch him wrestle.
“We’re getting to the
top of the hill now,” he
said. “We’ve been having
some tough duals and we’re
finally showing our experi-
ence. I mean, we’re a new
team and we’re young, but
we’re finally getting there.
We’re finally beating up on
some people.”

at the start and keep the
momentum going in games,”
Porter said. “We got that start
tonight and finished it off.”
Another key for Pendleton
was its 32 attempts from the
free throw line — including
22 in the second half
alone — as the Riverhawks
defense was slow to react to
the Buckaroos play inside.
Pendleton was successful on
21 of those attempts.
“It was a pretty physical
game to be honest,” Porter
said.
The Buckaroos also
benefited from a good
performance from Haley
Greb who finished tied with
McGlothan with a team-high
14 points.
Pendleton will now
prepare to take on Hermiston
on Tuesday at Warberg Court,
with tip-off set for 5:45 p.m.

PENDLETON 70, THE
DALLES 35 — At The
Dalles, the Pendleton Buck-
aroos continued to show
why they are the defending
Columbia River Conference
champions with a dominant
70-35 victory on the road
against The Dalles on Friday.
Senior guard Caden Smith
led the Buckaroos (7-4, 2-0
CRC) with a game-high
25 points and sank seven
3-pointers, while Johnny
Stuvland put up 14 points
and Damon Thomas had
10. Pendleton also tallied 17
assists as a team, which is a
number that head coach Kyle
Tedder liked to see.
“We had contributions

from everybody tonight,”
Tedder said. “It’s been a long
week and we had to focus on
maintaining our energy and
we were able to rotate in a lot
of guys. It was an all-around
good effort from the guys.”
Tedder was also ecstatic
with his team’s performance
on the defensive end of
the floor, where the Bucks
allowed double-digit points
in just one of the four quar-
ters.
“Any time you can hold a
team to 12 points in the first
half, I can’t ask for anything
more,” Tedder said. “And
then to finish off the game
and outscore them 23-8 in the
fourth, any time you can do
those things you’re going to
be in great position to win.”
Pendleton will now get
some rest before preparing
for Tuesday’s showdown
with Hermiston at Warberg
Court. Tip-off is set for 7:30
p.m.

VALE 47, IRRIGON
29 — At Vale, a slow start for
Irrigon against a talented Vale
team proved to be too much
for the Knights to overcome
on Friday afternoon, as Vale
defended its home court with
a 47-29 victory.
“We dug ourselves in a
little hole in the first half,”
Irrigon coach Mike Royer
said. “We pulled to within
three in the third quarter, but
unfortunately were not able
to score the rest of the way,
so the outcome wasn’t to our
liking.”
Jada Burns led Irrigon
(9-8, 2-3 EOL) with 14 points
and was the only Knight to
reach double figures. Vale
(13-3, 3-1) had three players
reach double figures, led by
Tessa McFetridge with 13.
Irrigon next plays at
Nyssa today at 3 p.m.

“The first half we came
out and really played well
defensively,”
Nixyaawii
coach Jeremy Maddern said.
“We did a good job in our
rotations and didn’t foul a
whole bunch, and then we
just kind of coasted.”
Milan Schimmel led
Nixyaawii (15-0, 8-0 OOL)

and also added eight assists,
while Kaitlynn Melton had
