The six-team meet played out over two days — Jan. 10 in Klamath Falls and Wednesday — and the Vikings finished 5-0 to seize the league’s first-place trophy and some momentum heading into next week’s regional championships. “Our team goal is to be in the top five in the state,” Phoenix coach Jon Gay said. “Mazama is a tough team and at regional next weekend we should have a good showing.” Phoenix also beat North Valley 45-18 Wednesday, clinching a second-place showing for the Pirates after previous wins over Henley, Hidden Valley and Klamath Union. Mazama 138-pounder Kaden Wood pinned Phoenix’s Mike Walker in 2 minutes, 59 seconds to give the Vikings six big points, and Mazama’s Bowen Browder followed with a 13-4 major decision over Dalton Samis as the Vikings pulled off back-to-back swing match victories.

Also for Phoenix, heavyweight Ishmael DeLaTorre pinned Mazama counterpart Jordan Friel in only 25 seconds, and 195-pounder Dane Johnson went 4-1 in Skyline duals, including three pins.
