Jennings finishes fourth; Huff sixth
Siuslaw’s Dylan Jennings brought home the fourth place medal at 220 pounds from the OSAA State 4A Wrestling finals over the weekend. Jennings won his first two matches Friday, but was defeated in the championship semi Saturday. He got into the consolation finals where he fell in the last minute.
Richard Huff finished in 6th place at 113 pounds. He lost his opening match Friday, then won three straight before losing in the consolation semis Saturday. In his final match, he lost 8-1 to Jace Hays of Baker… the same wrestler who defeated him in the opening round.
Talamoa Tupua went one-and-two at 152 pounds; Murray Bingham was oh-and-two at 126.
College baseball…
Former Siuslaw Viking right hander Jake Thompson left the game to a standing ovation at Surprise Stadium in Arizona Friday afternoon. The redshirt sophomore had gone 6 2/3 innings, striking out seven and giving up only five hits. Oregon State went on for a 14-nothing victory over Kansas State. The Beavers had two more victories over the weekend… both of them over the Kansas Jayhawks, 9-3 and 3-1.
The Oregon Diamond Ducks suffered their first loss of the season, falling 3-2 Saturday afternoon to Illinois State. That was bookended by two wins over the Redbirds, 4-2 Friday and 3-1 Sunday. The Ducks are now 6-1 on the season.
Pac-12 Basketball
On the court… the 13th ranked Oregon Ducks are perfect at home after wrapping up the home schedule with a, 86-73 victory over the Washington Huskies at Matthew Knight Arena last night.

Oregon has gone 35-2 at home over the past two seasons.
Oregon State handed Ernie Kent and his Washington State Cougars their 15th straight loss yesterday afternoon at Gill Coliseum. The Beavers came out on top 69-49 in front of a sellout crowd. They too will finish up the regular season on the road at USC Wednesday, then at UCLA Saturday afternoon.
