NYSSA — It was a
mixed bag of results for the
Enterprise wrestling team
at the Calhoun Classic in
Nyssa Friday, Dec. 10, and
Saturday, Dec. 11.
Three wrestlers com-
peted in the varsity end of
the tournament, and all three
went two-and-out. But in
the JV bracket, two reached
the fi nals, and Will Ogden
claimed top honors in his
weight class.
Ogden went 3-0 to win
that 195-pound weight class,
defeating three Idaho wres-
tlers. He pinned John Kertz
of McCall-Donnelly in the
quarterfi nals, took down
Wyatt Clark of Middleton
by fall in the semifi nals, and,
with just 32 seconds left in
the title match, dropped Sam
Buck of Emmett by fall.
Pearce Schnetzky went
3-1 at 138 pounds to take
second. He pinned Benja-
min Mardock of Nyssa in
his fi rst match, edged Kaden
Annis of Fruitland, Idaho,
by an 8-7 decision, and won
a 16-11 decision over Melba,
Idaho’s Joel Helm to reach
the fi nals. There, he was
pinned in the third round by
Dylan Mossi of Caldwell.
In the girls bracket,
Gabby De Lapena went 3-1
at 130 pounds. She opened
with a 9-0 major deci-
sion over Caldwell, Idaho’s
Paola Ruiz Saldana, then
suff ered her lone loss by fall
to Emmett’s Gianna Coburn
in the semifi nals. She recov-
ered to pin Destiny Reyes
of Nyssa, then in a rematch
against Saldana, defeated
the Caldwell wrestler again,
this time by fall, in the third-
place match.
In the varsity bracket,
Tegan Evans (145) and Cody
Fent (170) both suff ered
two losses by fall. Gunnar
McDowell (220) had a loss
by fall, then dropped a close
3-0 decision to Vince Clau-
dio of Caldwell.
Joseph, meanwhile, had
three wrestlers compete at
the Culver Invite Friday and
Saturday.
Jayden McNall (120) had
the strongest eff ort, going
2-2. He won his fi rst two
matches by fall over Cul-
ver’s Deson Monroe and
Mazama’s Gabriel Aumiller,
then dropped two by fall
to La Pine’s Landyn Phil-
pott and Bonanza’s Conner
German.
Dylan Rogers went 1-2 at
132, dropping two matches
by fall, but also earning a
win by forfeit over Caldera’s
Brandon Ortiz. The second
loss, to Pine Eagle’s James
Denson, eliminated him
from the tournament.
Jett Peterson went 0-2 at
113, dropping both matches
by fall.
Both Joseph and Enter-
prise return to the mat Fri-
day and Saturday at the John
Rysdam Memorial Tourna-
ment in Elgin.

Aimee Meyers scored 10 points —
including six in the second half — to
lead the Eagles. Sarah Orr added six
points for Joseph.
“We put up more shots than Jor-
dan Valley, we had more off ensive
rebounds, but we shot 14%, which
you cannot do and expect to win the
game,” head coach Lance Homan said.
“Our defense was solid, holding Jor-
dan Valley to their lowest output of
the season. We struggled to fi nish our
shots and we took good shots, they just
didn’t fall.”
Wallowa 51, Horizon Christian

their second victory of the season.
In all, eight players scored for the
Cougars, and 11 players saw the court,
most logging ample minutes.
“Horizon, they were missing a cou-
ple starters and they are down a little
this year,” head coach Greg Oveson
said. “It was an opportunity to play a
lot of girls. We actually, I thought, we
did some good things. We took care
of the ball. … I was really happy with
some of our younger people that got to
play. Eight kids scored. It was a good
opportunity for them and gave us a lit-
tle bit of time to work on some things
we need to do off ensively. We aren’t
shooting the ball that well yet, but we
had some good moments on Friday
night.”
Haley Brockamp had seven
fi rst-quarter points as Wallowa opened
up a 22-5 lead through one. Libby
Fisher, who fi nished with a game-high

Love, who added nine points, had fi ve
in the third.
“Where we really opened it up was
the third, and that was when we started
clicking,” head coach Mike Crawford
said. “That positive energy that was
coming out of the kids, you could tell
they were feeling good.”
In the fourth, the Outlaws broke the
game open, holding Adrian to a fi eld
goal and a free throw while scoring 18
points on their own to fi nish the win.

hot hand.”

ball in the basket. We struggled at the
free-throw line. I was proud of how
our girls kept working hard.”

Adrian 44, Joseph 27: A big sec-

rial Tournament in North Powder
