Young wrestlers from all over Oregon, as well as Western Idaho, gathered at Burns High School on Saturday, Jan. 26, for the Les Schwab Buckle Classic hosted by the Hi-Desert Mat Club.

Before the action got under way on the mats, Hi-Desert coach Doug Gunderson made the announcement that the tournament was being held in memory of Jay Winn, who lost his life in a truck accident last fall.

A buckle was presented to the Winn family and Gunderson stated that the tournament would now be known as the Jay Winn Memorial Les Schwab Buckle Classic.
