Comets claim second straight title at Crater Classic CENTRAL POINT - Crater crowned only three wrestling champions but had more than enough depth to outscore the field and claim its second straight team title in the 11-team Crater Classic. Bryson Gutches, who bumped up to 112 pounds, Rudy Ramirez (145) and Chris Dearmon (275) each won their weight classes to pace the Comets, who had seven wrestlers advance to the championship finals. Finishing second were Jeremy Firestone (112), Nate Gipson (130), Jeremy McLaughlin (135) and Josh Wilder (140). "I think our kids did a real good job of wrestling, especially early in the tournament," said Crater coach Greg Haga. "It was a long day for the kids, and the intensity wasn't really there once we got to the finals." Crater scored 3701/2 points to edge West Linn (317) for the team title. Sprague placed third at a distant 1921/2 points. North Medford's Rob Folsom stormed through the 160-pound division for an individual title. His efforts earned the North sophomore outstanding wrestler for the upper weights. "Folsom does a good job," said Haga. "He looked pretty impressive today." West Linn's Jimmy Crisman was named outstanding wrestler for the lower weights. South Medford's Ben Vandagrift placed second at 215.
