Harvey (182), who finished
the day 3-1. “We had a pret-
ty good turnout on the num-
ber of teams that showed up
today.”
Grant Union head
coach Andy Lusco said the
tournament ran smoothly.
“They’ve
wrestled
pretty well,” he said of his
team. “We had tough com-
petition, and a lot of first-
time wrestlers got their
first matches in.”
The coach said he was
impressed with senior
Elijah Humbird’s perfor-
mance.
“(He) wrestled up to
heavyweight and wrestled
very well, only losing to
Drew,” he said.
He said the home invi-
tational will be a benefit as
they continue on with the
season, including increas-
ing their endurance.
“We’re making im-
provements,” he said.
Eleven Grant Union
wrestlers traveled to Hep-
pner Saturday for the Bank
of Eastern Oregon Tourna-
ment, where they finished
fifth.
Coach Lusco said it
was a small tournament
because of conflicts with
other tournaments.
He said nearly all the
Grant Union wrestlers won
a match, and most won
multiple matches against
quality competitors.
“Ben Henry has really
improved and won three
matches,” he added. “Rus-
sell Hodge and Cameron
Hallgarth had particularly
tough brackets and wres-
tled very hard.”
Grant Union hosted
Burns and Crane for a
dual meet on Tuesday, past
press time, and they trav-
el to Halfway for the Pine
Eagle tournament set for
10 a.m. Saturday.
The district tourna-
ment is scheduled for Fri-
day-Saturday, Feb. 2-3 in
Imbler.
