OTHELLO — On a night where hall of fame inductee Ruben Martinez was honored, his former team made the old coach proud.

Hosting its last home dual of the season, Othello picked up six pins, one forfeit and one technical fall in a 53-15 win over Basin rival Ephrata.

Collin Freeman (152), Reese Jones (160), Chemi Cantu (285), Edwin Ponce (126), Sterling Roylance (132) and Alejandro Mendez (138) won by fall. Chris Melo (106), trying hard to earn pin points, won by technical fall.

Othello raced out to an early 18-0 lead before Ephrata’s Drew Anderson pinned Allen Rosalez (182). The Tigers strung together consecutive wins when Jared Durfee outlasted Edgar Martinez (195) for a 4-2 win.

After succumbing to an early take down by Rolo Reyes, Anthony Ruiz (220) rallied to win 8-3. Ruiz recorded two escapes and took Reyes down three times in the second and third rounds.

Cantu and Melo’s win put the Huskies ahead 32-9 before Ephrata’s Rey Hernandez closed the gap, 32-15, with a second round pin of Isaiah Munguia (120).

However, it would be the last match an Ephrata wrestler would have his hand raised.

Othello ended the dual with five straight wins, starting with an 11-1 major decision by Ben Garza (120).

Ponce, Roylance and Mendez stretched the lead to 53-15 after three pins in a row.

Bernie Garza Jr. ended the evening with a 6-4 come-from-behind win.
