COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL FEBRUARY 28, 2018 3C Another state title for CGHS: Lamb takes 4-A wrestling title BY ZACH SILVA zsilva@cgsentinel.com Adam Lamb pins top seed John Dover of Junction City to win the 4-A state wrestling championship on Feb. 17. W ith no illness or injuries to stymie his chances, it was smooth sailing to a wrestling state championship for Cot- tage Grove’s Adam Lamb. After setbacks in years past, Lamb, a senior, took home the 285-pound weight class tittle in the 4A classi- fi cation on Saturday night at Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Port- land to earn the fi fth individual title in CGHS history. “It’s a big deal to me. Every year that comes around state I’m either breaking my arm or getting sick, so this [was] my last chance and I’m really trying my best to get there and make Cottage Grove proud,” said Lamb. In the championship, it was Lamb, the fi fth seed, pinning top seed John Dover from Junction City. Lamb defeated Dover earlier this season at a tournament in Junction City. The message for Lamb from his coaches throughout the tourna- ment was just to do what he has been doing all season. “Wrestle his match. When we get to this point, all the coaching is done in the room, right? And we talked about it, you earn the trophies in the practice room, you just come here to collect them,” said Cottage Grove wrestling coach Richard Herzog. “So you get out there and now it’s time to put all that together and wrestle with authority and that’s what he did.” The state tournament began Friday morning when Lamb defeated Marshfi eld’s Phillip Hernandez. “From here if he beats him he goes three seed, he beats that he goes two seed and if he beats that then hypothetically has the one seed. So he’s just got to wrestle the next six minutes every time,” said Herzog. The only Lion to advance to the quarterfi nals, Lamb then made quick work of Ontario’s Antonio Sanders as he pinned him in just 21 seconds. “He initiated the moves and so I’ll just take whatever he wanted to do and he wanted to throw himself on his back so I held him there,” said Lamb. The victory secured Lamb a spot in Saturday’s semifi nal. But the victory only made the dream of winning a state tittle more clear. “I think both for Adam and everyone around him expected Adam to place at state. But because of unfortunate things it hasn’t hap- pened. So for him, right, that’s the mission. With that match he placed. So now how high? We have expectations that he wins this thing. That’s if we fall short then it is short. He is that caliber, he is that good,” said Herzog. Lamb then faced two-seed Caleb Parrott from Crook County and defeated him by fall in 2:33 to move to the championship. “That’s what you want to do as a senior is to compete at your highest level, compete at the state tournament and be successful at the state tournament,” said Cottage Grove coach Chris Joyce. The Lions had four other wrestlers compete at state, Chance Ralston (120), Jacob Dunn (138), Nate Farrell (160) and Drew Sw- enson (160). After losing in the fi rst round, these wrestlers were then in the consolation round and did not place.
