FOUR - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday. February 20, 2008 Mustang wrestlers compete in district tournament By M ark L em m on The Heppner Mus tangs wrestling team trav eled to Joseph for the Spe- eial District IV tournament on February 8 and 9. The Mustangs took 13 wrestlers to the tournament filling nine o f the 14 weight classes. Last year the Mus tangs had one placer and finished ninth out o f 10 teams by scoring a total o f 23 points in the tournament. The team improved substan tially over that performance by placing six wrestlers in the top six and scoring 66.5 points. H e p p n e r's h ig h est placer was sophomore Chance Day who repeated his third place finish from last year. Day made it to the semi finals on Saturday m orning before losing to the eventual district cham pion Matt Holloway from Crane, a returning district champion and fourth place finisher at state in 2007. It was Day's only loss in the regular tournament. Because only two c o m p e tito rs from each w eight class advance to state, there is a wrestle off between the third place and second place finishers at the conclusion of the regulation tournament matches if the two have not previously met at districts. Day had a wrestle off against Colton Ketcher, the second place finisher also from Crane. The Crane senior prevailed in the bout and won the right to return to the state tourna ment for his second time.

J u n io r S p e n c e r Palmer and Senior Taylor Hodges both won medals for six th place. H odges only began wrestling in the second half o f the season this year. G ran t S m ith , Ty ler Robinson, Trent Miles, Jo rd an W right, M ichael Hawks, Justin Yocom and Alex Fuentes also competed for Heppner. Miles is one o f the only two seniors that finished his w restling ca reer for the Mustangs this weekend. “ I'm really proud o f these boys and the effort they put out this year,” said head coach Troy Morgan. “ Wrestling is the oldest and one o f the toughest sports in the world. It teaches many lessons that w ill have a positive impact on the rest o f their lives. Just to come out and finish the season says a lot about the charac ter o f these young men. We set a team goal to have six placers. We met that and scored nearly three times the number o f points in the district tournament as last year. That’s quite an accom plishment for such a young team. We’re really going to miss our seniors next year, but w e’re also going to wel come back a lot o f returning veterans with some valuable experience.” Crane was the Spe cial District IV champion, finishing ahead o f last years champion Elgin by just three points to win their first dis trict championship.
