Baker's Oakley Anderson, right, wrestles Redmond's Marlise Benson in a consolation semifinal match on Jan. 7, 2023, in the Rollie Lane Invitational at Nampa, Idaho. 

The Baker/Powder Valley girls and boys wrestling teams traveled to Nampa, Idaho, Friday, Jan. 6 to compete in the two-day Rollie Lane Invitational, one of the biggest tournaments in the West.

A total of 1,243 wrestlers entered the tournament, representing 72 schools in several states.

“It was a tough tournament,” Baker boys coach Jeris Stephens said. “It’s probably one of the toughest tournaments on the West Coast, and it was the largest (ever) turnout for the event.”

The Baker girls placed 16th out of 66 schools. Kaci Anderson was fourth in her weight class, and Oakley Anderson was fifth in hers.

“This was a big tournament with a lot of good competition,” Baker girls coach Josh Anderson said. “It’s as tough or tougher than the state tournament as it has top teams from four states. The girls all tried their hardest. There were so many close matches. Some ended in hard fought victories and others in heartbreak. Some of our team weren’t feeling well but still gave all they could.

“We will continue to learn more at practice and work on doing the things that will help us come out ahead in the tournaments. I am proud of all of that these girls have done and for all their hard work.”

The Bulldog boys, wrestling for the first time since the holiday break and with many recovering from illness, “had a pretty rough first round,” Stephens said.

“But they kinda pulled themselves together in the (consolation rounds),” he said.

Nolan Briels at 126 pounds won his opening match.

Aldo Duran, at 113 pounds, advanced to what’s known as the blood round after winning four matches in the consolation bracket.

“Unfortunately he wasn’t able to place over a tough kid from Meridian,” Stephens said.

Stephens was still very proud of the team standings, saying “If you place in the top six of that tournament you definitely achieved. We’re getting back to 100%, everything is back to healthy. Between winter break and a bunch of kids being sick, it was like (the team) was split half.”

Boys placed 56th out of the 72 teams.

“Very, very pleased with how they turned out, it’s the first tournament that both the boys and girls were together,” Stephens said. “It was nice to see both as a complete team.”

The Baker boys will travel to Redmond for the Oregon Wrestling Classic Jan. 13-15, while the girls return to Nampa to compete in the Jaybird Memorial tournament Jan. 13-14.
