Lambom is also a senior and defending district champion and was a 2013 third-place winner at state. Lemmon controlled the match from the onset with a takedown in the first 30 seconds and went on to win 9-2. Lemmon also won the vote o f the head coaches as the 2014 D istrict IV outstanding wrestler. It was the first time a Heppner wrestler received the honor. Senior Treston Maben, a 2013 district champion and fourth in state, claimed his second district title in two years with a dominating 13-2 major decision over Jaydon McKay of Elgin in the 152-pound weight class. It was Maben’s third time to win a participant's ticket to the state championships. The fourth d istric t champion for the Mustangs came from newcomer Kyle A ldrich at 182 pounds, a senior that moved to Heppner this year. Aldrich’s win was the most dramatic o f the tournament when he secured a come-from- behind win by scoring two near-fall points in the last three seconds of the match to win 7-6. Freshman Cord Flynn and Junior John Propheter each won th ird p lace at 160 pounds and 195 pounds respectively. Flynn earned his bronze medal by defeating senior Jordan Vermillion from Elgin, who had beaten him four times during the regular season.
