Wrestlers host last home meet

The Outlaws wrestling squad hosted the Redmond Panthers in their final home meet of the year on January 21. Seniors Ryan Long and Wyatt Gladden were honored before the meet began.

Grant Chisholm (106 pounds) went all three rounds with Corbin Carpenter. Chisholm led all three rounds, but with five seconds left in the final round Carpenter took Grant down, scored two points and won by decision.

Josh O'Brien (138 pounds) defeated McKenna Dunn 5-0. Ryan Long (152 pounds) won by a 10-7 decision over Calixto Paniagua.

In the Outlaws' second round with the Panthers, O'Brien beat Dustin Bogal 18-3 in a tech fall.

Coach Gene O'Brien said, "It seems my wrestlers have stage fright at home, and they didn't perform as well as they should have. On the other hand, I'm confident they will be ready for regionals at Crook County. I'm going to give them a good break and then hit the mats and work them hard on drill and moves."

Regional wrestling will take place at Crook County High School on Friday and Saturday, February 17-18.
