Coquille’s Paisley Morrison was regional champion for the second straight year and five different South Coast schools each advanced one girl to the state wrestling championships.
Morrison, who was state champion as a freshman last year, rolled to the final in the 140-pound weight class with three quick pins. In the championship match, she beat Siuslaw’s Danin Lacouture 7-0.
The top four wrestlers in each weight class advanced to the state meet, which is Thursday and Friday at the Memorial Coliseum in Portland, the same days as the various South Coast boys teams will be wrestling.
The Class 4A-3A-2A-1A District 3 included 44 different schools competing at Cottage Grove High School.
Two other South Coast wrestlers reached the championship matches in their weight classes, but lost.
Marshfield’s Olivia Shield won her first three matches by pin at 155 pounds to reach the final. There she lost by pin to top seed Peyton Buckley of Pleasant Hill.
Also reaching the final was Brookings-Harbor’s Lexie Newman at 130 pounds. She was pinned by top seed Shyla Sells of Mazama.
The only other South Coast girl to advance to state was Myrtle Point’s Jayme Padgett. She reached the semifinals at 190 pounds before losing, but then won in the consolation semifinals and pinned Mazama’s Isabel Banuelos in the third-place match.
Two other local girls placed fifth and lost wrestle-back matches with a chance to advance to the state tournament, losing to the girls who had lost their third-place matches.
Coquille’s Jerri Field placed fifth at 145 pounds by pinning teammate Jorja Johnson after both lost in the consolation semifinals. In her wrestle-back, Field was pinned by Illinois Valley’s Melody Collins.
Marshfield’s Azura Beckett had the same opportunity at 170 pounds after pinning Lakeview’s Raelyn Severson in the fifth-place match. Beckett was pinned by the fourth-place finisher, Laeyla Caron of Phoenix. Beckett won three straight elimination matches by pin after losing in the first round of the tournament.
Marshfield’s Amina Palacios placed fifth at 115 pounds. She did not have a chance to wrestle back because she had already lost to fourth-place finisher Haedyn Hill of Elmira.
Three other South Coast wrestlers placed sixth.
At 105 pounds, Siuslaw’s Emma Ford was sixth. She had eliminated Coquille’s Paisley Sherritt in the match to get into the placing rounds.
At 110 pounds, Coquille’s Natalie Stewart placed sixth after an impressive run through the consolation bracket. Stewart lost her first match in the preliminary rounds and then won five straight matches to get into the placing rounds before losing both in the consolation semifinals and the fifth-place match.
Marshfield’s Renee Anderson lost in the first round and then won three straight elimination matches at 135 pounds to get into the placing rounds before also finishing sixth. She eliminated North Bend’s Alana Wirebaugh in the match to get to the consolation semifinals.
Sweet Home won the regional title with 210 points and Harrisburg was second with 180. Marshfield was seventh, Coquille eighth, Siuslaw 16th, North Bend 25th, Brookings-Harbor 26th, Myrtle Point 27th and Reedsport 32nd.
