JOHN DAY – The Grant Union Prospector wrestlers will hit the road to Echo tomorrow, in both girlsโ€™ and boysโ€™ matches. Several Grant Union wrestlers were on KJDYโ€™s Coffee time Tuesday morning. Three-time GUHS Girls Wrestling State Champion Mallory Lusco said we can look forward to the home tournament next month:

โ€œTomorrow morning we head over to Echo. We leave at 4 [a.m.]. Our home tournament is January 24th, and this year, we are hosting the Burns-Crane Duals on February 3rd as well.โ€

In addition to state trophies, Two-time Boysโ€™ Wrestling State Champion Taylor Parsons shared a few things he takes home with him at the end of each wrestling season:

โ€œAt the end of the season, once weโ€™re done with our conditioning and everything, I always feel super accomplishedโ€”because, obviously, physically it is hard, but mentally, wrestling is a very tough sport. At the end of the season, you always feel very accomplished.โ€
