Baker wrestlers go 5-2 at Oregon Classic
BAKER CITY HERALD
REDMOND — The Baker
wrestling team went 5-2 in
dual matches during the Ore-
gon Classic Friday, Jan. 14, and
Saturday, Jan. 15, at Redmond.
The Bulldogs improved to
11-3 on the season in duals.
“It was really awesome to
see some kids come out of
their shell and get after it this
weekend,” Baker coach Bran-
don Young said. “Duals are all
about the team, and some guys
are really team oriented. It was
nice to see a few kids that re-
ally stepped it up.”
Young said junior Ryan
Brown, who went 4-3 during
the Oregon Classic at 160
pounds, “was a different wres-
tler this weekend. He went
out aggressive and kept fight-
ing. Ryan was able to win all
his matches on Saturday and
helped save the dual against
Cascade in our 42-39 win.”
Young also was excited
about junior River Clark’s 6-1
performance at 120 pounds.
In his lone loss, to Philo-
math’s Benjamin Hernandez,
the defending state champion,
Clark had Hernandez on his
back and nearly pinned him
before Hernandez recovered
and won by fall.
“River wrestled every match
with intensity and he is going
to be a front runner going into
state,” Young said.

Barnes had issues with the of-

and Arizona committed 23 fouls
compared to 15 for Oregon.
“There were a lot of question-
able calls that did not go our
way,” Barnes said. “I think we are
a pretty aggressive team and a lot
of those calls were momentum
shifters. … I’ve never had a game
where we shot 5 of 10 from the
line with some of the most ath-
letic guards in the country and
played a team that shot 26. It is
tough to play that way.”
BMS girls hoops teams sweep
Baker Middle School’s girls basketball
teams swept Central Middle School in three
games at Milton-Freewater on Friday, Jan. 14.
The intramural team won 40-0. Madi Sulli-
van was the leading scorer with 18 points, and
Jenny Gonzales added 12 points.
Due to a scheduling conflict, Baker’s
seventh-graders played in both the seventh-
grade and eighth-grade games.
Baker won the seventh-grade game, 62-0.
Jaxson Ramos was the leading scorer with
15 points, and Colbi Bachman had 10.
In the eighth-grade game, Baker won 76-
3. Colbi Bachman had 24 points, Kyndal
Chandler 14, and Lily Logsdon had nine
