Reina Barnes-Rubio, Redmond wrestling: It was a dominant showing at the Northwest Duals in Albany for the 135/140-pounder. Barnes-Rubio won each of her seven matches (six of them by pin) in the first round to help the Panthers finish second as a team at the tournament Dec. 28-29.

Anna Bales, Crook County basketball: The Cowgirls’ leader in points, scoring and steals was named to her second all-tournament team of the season for her performance at the Clarke Cochrane Christmas Classic in Alaska. In one game at the tournament, the freshman nearly had a triple-double with 14 points, 12 steals and nine rebounds.

Valerie Bowman, Bend wrestling: In six matches at the Northwest Duals, the 115/120-pounder pinned all six of her opponents, with three of them coming in the first round.

Boys

Pearson Carmichael, Summit basketball: In the Storm’s last five games, Carmichael has averaged 33.2 points per game, including a pair of 40-point games. He broke the school record with a 42-point game against Grant on Dec. 19, then broke that record with a 44-point performance against Liberty at the Les Schwab Invitational on Dec. 28, where he was named to the All-Tournament team.

Billy Jackson, Redmond wrestling: The 126-pound junior won all eight of his matches at the Northwest Duals in Albany. Jackson finished with three pins and two technical falls to help the Panthers to a second-place team finish.

Scout Santos, Mountain View wrestling: It did not matter whether the reigning 5A state champion was wrestling in the 132- or 138-pound weight class at the Northwest Duals, because Santos won all eight of his matches. Santos had seven pins in his eight matches to help the Cougars to a fourth-place finish.

Landyn Philpott, La Pine wrestling: At the Sierra Nevada Classic in Reno, Nevada, Philpott was named the tournament’s Outstanding Wrestler after winning all seven of his matches by pin to win the 138-pound weight class and become the first La Pine wrestler to place first at the tourney.
