Vikings' Huff wins a berth on Team Oregon


Siuslaw Vikings junior Richard Huff pinned Lowell's Simon Thurman in the 120-pound finals Saturday in the 2017 Oregon Cultural Exchange Trials at Thurston High School in Springfield.

Huff earned the opportunity to represent Team Oregon when it tours eastern Russia this summer, according to Vikings coach Neil Wartnik.

Huff capped a dominant high school wrestling season by winning the 113-pound division last month in the Oregon School Activities Association's Class 4A state championships in Portland.

Trackwresling.com has Huff 47-3 this season with 36 pins.
