The top-ranked Comets had three individual champions and eight placers overall to claim the team title at the two-day Resers’ Tournament of Champions Saturday at Liberty High. "I think we wrestled pretty well overall as a team," said Crater coach Greg Haga, whose Comets have won the past three state championships. "We’re starting to round into form. It’s a good time, with (Southern Oregon Conference) districts coming up next week." The event boasted eight of the state’s top 10 Class 4A teams and the second-ranked squad from Class 3A in Estacada. The Comets scored 192½ points to blow past second-place Hermiston (151) and third-place Pendleton (130½ ). Individually, Brock Gutches (103 pounds), Jon Bernhardt (145) and Charlie Alexander (275) each won titles.
