Orofino wrestlers win four medals at State Orofino High School wrestlers competed at state finals in Pocatello Feb. 27, finishing 11th overall 3A division, with 81 points. Orofino’s Preston Walker, a senior No. 1 seed at 152 pounds, dropped a tense 5-3 decision to second-seeded Caleb Walker of Salmon. Trailing 4-3 inside the final minute, Walker intentionally gave up an escape and tried to tie the score with a takedown. “The kid attacked him pretty well,” Orofino coach Garett Bretz said. “Down one point with 50 seconds left, we had to cut him loose. He just wasn’t able to get the takedown.” Orofino put two wrestlers in the finals, Walker and Bo Brooks. It is the second year of competition at 3A level. Brooks, a senior at 152, was pinned in the third period of the finals by No. 1 seed and defending champion Luke Weaver of Salmon. Michael Skinner placed third for the Maniacs and Jesse Faler was fourth. “We’re a small 3-A school,” Bretz said. “The kids don’t even think about that—they just go out and wrestle. It was nice to see them compete well.” Orofino 130—Preston Walker, Oro, dec. Tim Heffron, Tet, 8-2; Caleb Walker, Sal, dec. P. Walker 5-3; P. Walker second. 140—Chase Richins, She, dec. Michael Skinner, Oro, 6-3; Skinner dec. Chris Pooley, PR, 15-8; Skinner dec. Mitch Svedin, Wei, 11-4; Skinner third. 152—Bo Brooks, Oro, dec. Juan Christensen, SF, 6-3; Luke Weaver, Sal, p.
