Mitchell scored a pin of John Cushman in 1:06 at 125 pounds, while Trevor came away with a pin of Andrew Wolfe in :23 at 133.

Leading 12-0, Junior Valladolid then pinned Andy Duncan in 4:09 at 141 to push the lead to 18-0.

After a forfeit at 149, Seth Roy (Sherwood, Ore./Sherwood) (157) and Austin Vanderford (Ninilchik, Alaska/Ninilchik) (165) scored back-to-back decisions to push the Raider lead to 30-0.

Tyler Thomas (Salem, Ore./McKay) scored a tech fall at 174 up the lead to 41-0 and senior Chase Locke (Tualatin, Ore./West Linn) pinned Jordan Branson in 4:35 at 197.
