Heppner wrestlers move on to state
Ten Heppner wrestlers
competed in Elgin for the
2A/1A Special District IV
championship on Saturday.
Eight o f them stood on
the podium and brought
home medals. Four were
gold. Every Mustang who
wrestled in the finals round
came home a champion,
including all three seniors.
For the second consecutive
year, and three of the last
four years, all seniors
qualified for state.
Sophomore Ryan Smith
started the championship
roll by defeatin g Pine
Eagle’s Blake Butler for
the fifth time this season
in the 106-pound finals
m atch. W ith his first
district title. Smith became
only the second Mustang
underclassman to win a
district championship and
the fourth to qualify for
state as a sophomore.
Senior Jared Lemmon,
already a three-time district
champion going into the
to u rn am en t, faced o ff
against Andy Lambom of
Crane in the championship
b o u t at 126 p o u n d s .
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.
It was Flynn’s 24lh win,
placing him second on the
all-time list for most wins as
a Mustang freshman.
S o p h o m o r e W ill
Lutcher (132 pounds) and
Junior Jesse Boyd (138
pounds), both returning
district placers from 2013,
added to their medal counts
by each placing fifth for the
Mustangs. Jacob Moses and
Joe Garcia also competed
for Heppner.
Heppner placed third
as a team overall behind
Crane in first and the co
op team o f E nterprise/
Joseph in second. Had
the Enterprise and Joseph
teams not combined points,
the Mustangs would easily
have claim ed second.
Heppner tied with Crane
for the most individual
champions.
The fo u r M ustang
champions will compete
in the 12,888-seat Veterans
M em orial C oliseum in
Portland beginning at 8:30
