He was not wrong. Crook County won 12 of 14 matches Thursday against the visiting Bucks in cruising to a 69-9 victory. Chris Chambers was the fi rst Buck to pick up a victory, recording an 8-2 deci- sion over Gage Perry at 138 pounds to trim the Cowboys’ lead to 33-3. Pendleton’s Isaac Urbina pinned Gavin McLean in 5:02 at 160 pounds, and that was it for the Bucks. The Cowboys won 11 of their matches by fall, with heavyweight Caleb Parrott recording the quickest pin of 33 seconds over Travis McGee. The Bucks will wrestle at the Ore- gon Classic on Friday and Saturday at the Redmond Fairgrounds. For the East Oregonian/Noelle Haro-Gomez Hermiston’s Isaac Lambert, left, wrestles Pasco’s Ed Manzo in a 120-pound bout on Thursday at Pasco High School. Manzo won 6-4 in overtime. Pasco grapplers overpower Hermiston in MCC match By ANNIE FOWLER East Oregonian MATCH RESULTS P asco’s veteran lineup was more than Hermiston could handle Thursday night. Pasco won all but three matches en route to a 57-12 victory over the visiting Bull- dogs in Mid-Columbia Conference action. “Hermiston has a strong team,” Pasco coach Jay Covington said. “I know they are young, but they had a lot of grit and fi ght. The score doesn’t say that, but it was a good battle each time on the mat.” Hermiston’s Trevor Wagner opened the match with a 12-7 decision over Tra- vis Thorne at 160 pounds, but it was all Pasco until the match rolled around to 106 pounds. “They are tough,” Hermiston coach Kyle Larson said. “We have to under- stand who we are wrestling, but you can’t be happy with 57-12. We left guys home tonight and we didn’t have two guys in the middle, and they could have been winna- ble matches.” Teams scores — Crook County 69, Pendleton 9. 106 — Tucker Bonner (CC) p.

Adrian Delgado continued his success- ful season with a pin of Andre Rodriguez at 113. Delgado led 11-1 in the second round before pinning Rodriguez in 2:43. “Delgado looked phenomenal,” Larson said. “Maybe one of his best matches. He has been putting in the extra time, and it shows.” At 120, Isaac Lambert matched Pasco’s Ed Manzo point for point to force overtime. Lambert got an escape with 21 seconds left in regulation to tie the score at 4-4, but Manzo managed a takedown 24 seconds into the extra round for a 6-4 victory. At 220, Hermiston’s Jon Lee battled Damion Silva to the bitter end. Tied at 4-4 in the fi rst, Silva got an escape and a take- down to take a 7-4 lead into the second round. Silva won the match 10-5.

ROMERO Associated Press By JOHN MARSHALL AP Basketball Writer TEMPE, Ariz. — Rob Edwards’ 13 points included two clutch free throws in the fi nal seconds, and Arizona State held on to hand Oregon State its fi rst Pac-12 loss of the sea- son, 70-67, on Thursday night. The Sun Devils (12-5, 3-2 in Pac-12) have won 10 straight games over the Beavers at Wells Fargo Arena. Zylan Cheatham had 10 points and 13 rebounds, and fi ve Sun Devils scored in double fi gures to off- set a pair of 21-point per- formances from Oregon State’s Tres Tinkle and Ethan Thompson. Oregon State rallied from an 18-point sec- ond-half defi cit to trail by one and almost took the lead. Cheatham slammed home a missed shot for a 68-64 lead, but Tinkle hit from distance again to make it a one-point game with 22 seconds left. Ore- TUCSON, Ariz. — Paul White scored 16 points and Victor Bailey Jr. added 13, helping Oregon hold off Ari- zona 59-54 Thursday night. The once-fast Ducks have had to slow down in recent games due to a string of injuries, relying on their defense rather than outscor- ing opponents. Oregon (11-6, 2-2 Pac- 12) got Kenny Wooten back after missing four games with a broken jaw, though he played limited minutes and star freshman Bol Bol was on the bench in a walk- ing boot. The Ducks still stuck to their shut-them-down game plan, hounding Arizona (13-5, 4-1) into one miss after another while build- ing a 13-point lead midway through the second half. The Wildcats found an offensive rhythm and pulled within 55-51 on Dylan Smith’s 3-pointer with 1:24 left. Smith hit another 3 to get Arizona within 57-54 with four seconds left, but AP Photo/Ross D.

With a stunned crowd on its feet, Edwards hit a pair of free throws with 12.1 seconds left, and Thomp- son’s 3 to tie the game was rushed and well off target at the buzzer.

PAC-12 Oregon Arizona 59 54 Payton Pritchard hit two free throws to seal it. Chase Jeter led the Wild- cats with 12 points and 10 rebounds. Arizona took control of the early Pac-12 race after an uneven nonconfer- ence schedule. The Wild- cats opened conference play with wins over Colorado and Utah at home and had a road sweep of the Bay Area schools last week. The Ducks had a rough start to the Pac-12, losing to rival Oregon State and blowing an eight-point lead in the fi nal 45 seconds of an overtime loss to UCLA. Oregon bounced back with a 21-point win over USC in one of its best all-around games of the season. The Ducks were good on the defensive end against Arizona, holding the Wild- cats without a fi eld goal for nearly eight minutes while building a nine-point lead. Oregon held Arizona to 23 points, 8-of-27 shooting, including 2 for 11 from the 3-point arc and forced nine See Ducks, Page B2
