KELLOGG WRESTLING

Dec. 29

Central Idaho League Duals

The Wildcats knocked off league rivals Grangeville and Priest River before dispatching Clearwater Valley in the championship.

“I thought we underestimated Grangeville in the quarterfinals and they really gave us a challenge,” Kellogg head coach Scott Miller said. “We did respond the rest of the night against Priest River and Clearwater Valley and wrestled better as the night went on. We're pleased that we won the event and take pride in being the Central Idaho League champions, but we also know we have a lot of season left to go and look forward to the challenges that await us.”

Wildcats Chase Scribner (106), Ricky Haralson (120), Kolter Wood (126), Jaeger Hall (132), Brady Vergobbi (152), and Ramsey Rainio (170) all finished undefeated at the event to pace Kellogg’s scoring.

Dec. 30

Chad E. Ross Tournament

Kellogg’s Kolter Wood won the 126-pound title and the tournament’s Most Outstanding Wrestler award and the Wildcats finished second as a team.

Wood was one of four varsity wrestlers from Kellogg to bring home a championship - but missed the team title by a narrow eight points.

“We got off to a slow start but got better as the day went on,” head coach Scott Miller said. “As a team we just kind of hung around which put us in the running at the end of the tournament. Our team did a good job of wrestling in the consolations, understanding that each of those matches are important, and finding ways to win those matches, get pins, and keep advancing. Overall, a good tournament performance for us.”

Along with Wood, Jaeger Hall (132), Chase Scribner (106), and Izzy Davis (girls 132) won their weight classes, but had 14 wrestlers find their way onto the podium.

“I was really happy for Kolter Wood as he wrestled so well all weekend and then being rewarded with that by winning the Outstanding Wrestler Award,” Miller said. “Jaeger Hall was once again dominating and was particularly impressive in his championship match by completely shutting down his opponent. Chase Scribner keeps quietly winning his weight class and has turned himself into one of the top 106-pounders in the state. Izzy Davis continues to be impressive and was dominating in winning her weight class. Overall, having as many placers as we had was a good day for us.”
