Crook County won 13 of 14 matches Thursday night, six by fall, as the Cowboys rolled to a 64-6 Intermountain Hybrid wrestling victory over host Bend High.

Trey Shores (106 pounds), Terran Libolt (113), Alex Urrea (160), Dean Swift (170), Gunner Crawford (195) and Curtis Crouch (220) all won with pins for the Cowboys, who were coming off a runner-up finish at last weekend’s Coast Classic in North Bend. Lava Bear senior Mack McHone posted Bend’s lone win when he pinned Crook County’s Dylan Blasius in the 182-pound match.

Neither squad was at full strength Thursday with multiple starters from both teams out with injuries or illness.

“Even with a lot of second-string guys out there, I thought we wrestled tough,” Cowboys coach Jake Huffman said. “It was a pretty good dual for us.”

Huffman also pointed out the wrestling of freshman Hayden Bates at 132 pounds, sophomores Collbran Meeker (138 pounds) and Michael Seyl (145), and junior Taylor Shockney (125), who all won by decision.

“Bates, he’s not your typical freshman wrestler,” Huffman said. “And Michael Seyl, who didn’t wrestle last year because of injuries, this was kind of a breakout night for him.”

Despite the lopsided defeat, Bend High coach Luke Larwin looked at the dual as something that should help his team in the long run.

“Crook County has tough kids and is well coached,” Larwin said. “That’s a recipe for success. We have kids that are willing to be tough and are getting tougher every day. … There’s a lot we can take from this and can use to get better.”

Larwin praised McHone’s win on a night when the Bears struggled to find success.

“In the past, Mack’s had a hard time finding his way into the varsity lineup,” Larwin said. “But he’s really matured a lot. His win gave us something to lean on.”

Both Crook County and Bend High wrestle again today and Saturday at the Adrian Irwin Memorial Tournament at Ridgeview High in Redmond.
