SPORTS A11 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM WEDNESDAy, DECEMbER 19, 2018 Bulldogs take down Richland, Kennewick in MCC duals By ANNIE FOWLER STAFF WRITER Staff photo by Kathy Aney/East Oregonian Andrea Hernandez, of Hermiston (right), starts her match with Pasco’s Makenna Bartels in the 115-pound weight class during Wednesday night’s MCC mixer. Hermiston’s Deike wins two matches at MCC mixer By ANNIE FOWLER STAFF WRITER Each time out on the mat is a learning experience for the Hermiston girls wres- tling team. Wednesday, the Bull- dogs hosted five other Mid-Columbia Confer- ence teams in a mixer, where each girl got any- where between one and four matches depending on the number of competitors in their weight class. Hermiston’s Jazmin Deike won both of her matches at 190 pounds, beating Chiawana’s Liz- zeth Jauregui 13-3, then pinning Chiawana’s Rachel Castaneda in 3 minutes. “I have won a few matches,” said Deike, who is in her first year of wres- tling. “If I win, it is by good luck.” Or by using her training — all four weeks of it. Against Castaneda, Deike trailed 5-1 in the sec- ond round, and Castaneda had her cradled and on her back. Deike was able to break her grasp, maneuver a reversal, and get a quick pin. “I just made sure to get my leg out,” Deike said. “I knew if I got to my belly I had a fighting chance. This is really physically demanding. You have to want it and give it all you’ve got. It’s super fun.” Deike’s reward for a good day on the mat? “I’m going to go home and eat a fat burrito,” she said. “I’m 10 pounds under weight.” Other big wins for Hermiston came from Laly Morin, who earned an 11-6 decision over Adriana Bon- ner of Richland at 155 pounds, and Sally Wooster, who pinned Kamiakin’s Addison Fountain in 5:53 after taking a 6-0 lead in the third round. “I saw a lot of fight,” Hermiston coach Andy Hall said. “Andrea Her- nandez (115) fought really hard, and Jazmin went 2-0. She did as good as always. Our middleweights are bat- tling for positions.” Other Hermiston wres- tlers did not have as good a night. Pasco’s Cassandra De La Mora pinned Schae Bor- rego in the second round at 145, and Kamiakin’s Sarah Hamilton pinned Amree Braithwaite in 50 seconds at 145. “From here, we go back and teach what we do,” Hall said. “Once is not enough.” Hermiston returns to action Dec. 21 at the Columbia-Burbank Invite. MORE WINNERS. MORE OFTEN. For the first time in five years, Kennewick High School is able to put a full lineup on the mat for a dual. It didn’t much matter against Hermiston, which won nine of 14 matches to hand the Lions a 54-27 Mid-Columbia Conference loss Thursday night at the Dawg House. The Bulldogs made a clean sweep of the double dual, beating Richland 69-8, a match in which Hermis- ton took advantage of seven forfeits. “It keeps things in per- spective,” Hermiston coach Kyle Larson said of the matches. “We know who is tough. We are just trying to put guys in position to do their best.” That was Jordan Frank- lin. The 138-pound junior won both of his matches on the mat. Against Richland, he recorded a technical fall (21-5) over Taylor Cole- man, then pinned Blake Brooks of Kennewick in 4 minutes, 17 seconds. “We try to leave the room a little bit better every day,” Larson said. “We have a ton of work to do, and we are continuing to work on the fundamentals and the basics.” Against Richland, the Bombers forfeited 106 to 126, and in the upper weights from 195 to 285. In the middle, the Bull- dogs got pins from Gage Shipley (132), Chris Lomeli (145) and Blake Betz (182). Richand’s Patrick Work- man earned a technical fall (18-3) over Trevor Wag- ner at 160, and the Bomb- ers’ other win came at 170, where Connor Gibbon defeated Ethan Teel 11-9, registering a takedown with 6 seconds left in the match. The Lions put up more of a fight. The Bulldogs jumped out to an 18-3 lead with pins by Isaac Lambert (120) and Hunter Dyer (126) and Franklin. Kennewick made things interesting as Jacoby Weiber pinned Lomeli in the sec- ond round, and Brody Ray pinned Avant Ortiz at 3:18. Hermiston won the next two matches to make it 30-15, but the Lions refused to back down. We want to put a product on the mat that people want to see. We like them old or young. We just want to fill the stands.” Kyle Larson, Hermiston coach Dylan Holt pinned Betz at 182, and Caleb Gragg did the same to Stanley Scott at 195 to make it 30-27 with four matches remaining. “We are freshman and sophomore heavy, but they are stepping it up,” said Kennewick coach AJ Vogt- man, whose team opened the night with a 63-18 win over Richland. “We are a lot more aggressive and they are putting it together.” The Bulldogs won the final four matches by pin — Jon Lee (220), Dus- tyn Coughlin (285), Zayne Helfer (106) and Adrian Delgado (113) — to secure the win and improve to 2-2 in the MCC standings. “We want to put a prod- uct on the mat that peo- ple want to see,” Larson said. “We like them old or young. We just want to fill the stands.” Tri-State Hermiston’s Adrian Del- gado placed eighth at 106 pounds Saturday at the Tri- State tournament at North Idaho College in Coeur d’Alene. Delgado, who finished 3-3 on the weekend, was pinned by Rene Pierre of Polson (Mont.) in the sev- enth/eighth placing match. The Bulldogs, who had just one placer, finished 34th in the team standings with 42 points. Isaac Lambert (113) won his first match of the tourna- ment before finishing 2-2. Hermiston had two wres- tlers at 220 pounds. Jon Lee lost in the quarterfinals and finished 2-2. Sean Stewart also finished 2-2. At 120 pounds, Hunter Dyer won his first match, then lost his next two. Gage Shipley (126) won his first match then lost in the quarterfinals. He won his first consolation match, then fell to Riley Buth of Mt. Spokane 6-4. At 152, Trevor Wagner won his first match by pin, lost in the quarterfinals, then went 1-1 in the consolation bracket. Jordan Franklin went 1-2 at 138 pounds.
