KENNISON KNIFONG Having swept undefeated through a recent junior high school wrestling tournament in Halfway at 95 pounds, Enterprise 7th grader Kennison Knifong has been named wrestling last year. He’s described by his coach as calm, a great listener, has the ability to learn quickly, and applies such information in matches. At age 13, the son of Ken and Colby Knifong is active in most sports, including football, basketball, baseball, and soccer. Like many of his peers, Knifong “loves the outdoors” including the sports of hunting and fishing. Blessed with an active imagination, Knifong has both an interest in and the ability to build things with his hands. Proudly Sponsored By: Eastern Oregon’s Full Service Propane Supplier 201 E.
