Oregon Classic Qualifier 12/14/96

USA Everett was represented at the qualifier by Jonny Gilbertson at 55 lb midget and JJ Pugh at 65 Lb midget.

Gilbertson started with a bye then beat his first opponent 10-0 in 50 seconds. He pinned his next two opponents. His next match was against Tory Nelson of TNT club of Oregon. We figured going into the tournament that this would be the championship match as both Tory and Jonny have been state champs in the past and they had a sudden death overtime match at last years Classic. Jonny wrestled excellent and was in scoring position four different times but either went out of bounds or ran out of time. With the score 0-0 in the third round Jonny was turning Tory with an arm bar and put a figure-4 around his head. The referee stopped the move and gave Tory a penalty point for illegal head scissor. Jonny went to work and turned Tory over again but time ran out before he scored. Final score was 1-0 for Tory Nelson. Jonny next beat Trevor Hall 6-2 and finished the tournament with a 3-0 victory over Doug Kivett of USA Oregon to finish in 2ndplace..

Pugh won his first match 11-3 then pinned a wrestler from Sprague in the second round. His next two opponents were from Newberg. JJ won the first one 9-2 and dominated with a 10-0 technical fall in the forth round. In the fifth round JJ ran into a tough wrestler from Seaside. Josiah Sigler was able to get a 3/4 nelson on JJ and pinned him. In his next match he lost to Andrew Poore 4-1, knocking JJ out of the tournament. JJ was disappointed in not qualifying for the Oregon Classic after being runnerup in the 1995 Classic but he gave everything he had.
