The six-member The Dalles High Riverhawks wrestling team competed in the 10-team Tigard Invitational on Jan. 21 at Tigard High School, where Alexander DeLattore led the way with a runner-up finish.
The tourney had mostly Class 5A and 6A teams.
The Riverhawks, guided by first-year Coach Jake Abrams, were led by the DeLattore and his fellow freshmen teammate Harley Scott. Scott won four out of five matches to take fifth place in the 126-pound weight bracket. DeLattore took second place in the 145-pound division.
“We had a great tournament for our young team,” said Abrams. “We only had six guys, but they all wrestled tough. Silas Parsons has had some tough luck all season. He had to injury default out of the tournament due to a bicep strain he suffered in a first-round match. It’s a minor injury, so hopefully he’s not out to long. We had the fewest number of wrestlers out of any team in the tournament.”
Parsons, a sophomore, competes in the 220-pound weight class. At the beginning of the season, Parsons missed two weeks because of the flu. Then shortly after recovering from that illness, he had a staph infection that sidelined him for a month.
Scott, who has an 11-9 record, earned fifth place with a pin of William Mastripolito of Mountainside. Scott’s four wins were all by pins and his only loss was to Jack Ricketts of Wilsonville, who won the 126-pound division.
Freshman Taven Velador won two-of-four matches at 152 while competing in his first-ever tournament. Freshman Josh Brackenbury also won two-of-four matches at 152 pounds, including a come-from-behind win. Junior Isaiah Salazar, who is a first-year wrestler, won one-of-three matches at 170.
The Riverhawks will compete in the Hood River Elks tournament on Feb. 4 at Hood River Valley High School.
