The Crane wrestling team had two individual champions and placed second at the OSAA 2A/1A Special District 4 district tournament held Saturday, Feb. 15, in Union.

The Mustangs’ Imani Schaefer won all three of his matches on the way to winning the 170-pound weight class, and Jerett Doman was 3-0 while placing first at 195 pounds. Both wrestlers qualified for the state tournament to be held Feb. 28-29 at Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Portland.

Several other Crane wrestlers have a chance at making the state tournament. The top two wrestlers from each of the four districts are automatic qualifiers, and once the qualifiers are determined, the third-place finisher from each league will be “pooled” and a defined criterion applied to select three additional qualifiers for an 11-man bracket.

Those placing third from Crane were Jack Roath (106), John Otley (120), Rixon Doman (132), and Levi Roath (138).

Fourth-place finishes went to Glen Starbuck (132), Seth Doman (160),  and Dusty Sherburn (285). Kelton Dunten (138) and Tanner Davis (195) placed fifth, Carl George (220)finished sixth, and Riley Collins (152) eighth.

Culver won the team title with 308.5 points, with Crane in second with 190 points. Grant Union finished third in the 12-team tournament with 186.5 points, and Pine Eagle fourth with 165.

In addition to the team placing second, Crane coach David Doman (right) was named the OSAA 2A/1A Special District 4 Coach of the Year.
