Burns, Willamina figure to challenge defending champion Harrisburg
Harrisburg returns to Memorial Coliseum hungry to defend the state championship the Eagles won for the first time last year.
They’ll have to stave off Burns, which was a distant second last year — the Hilanders’ third consecutive runner-up finish after their 2020 championship — and Willamina, which finished second at 2A/1A last year before moving back to 3A this season.
The Hilanders have five top seeds among their meet-high 15 qualifiers, while the Eagles have three and Willamina none.
Four remain alive to complete four-time state championship quest
Five 3A wrestlers entered the season harboring hopes of joining the group of 51 who have won four state championships over the previous 77 tournaments.
One — Harrisburg senior Luke Cheek — unfortunately suffered an injury during the season that kept him from competing at district. The other four — Cornell, Kerr, Philpott and Easton Kemper — are four rounds from completing the feat.
Of the quartet, Kerr might face the biggest challenge. A potential semifinal could match him with Banks senior Benjamin Dinan, who placed fourth at 126 last year. In the final, awaiting him could be No. 2 seed Trayson Truesdell of Harrisburg, who placed third at 132 as a freshman last year, or No. 3 Kisor Savage of Willamina, a 2A/1A state runner-up at 120 in 2024.
The No. 2 seed opposite Cornell in the bracket is Banks sophomore Tobijah Mauck, who took fifth at 120 last year. Philpott could face No. 3 Boone Marquess of Pleasant Hill (sixth at 150 last year) or No. 2 James Turner of Banks in the final.
Kemper could meet Willamina junior Bodhi Baller (fourth at 2A/1A 175) in the quarterfinals, with Vale junior Wyatt Cox (fifth at 165 but unseeded) and No. 2 seed Ryan Gaskin of North Valley squaring off in Round 1 on the opposite side of the bracket.
Two returning champions face daunting road to potential 120 final
Last year’s state champions at 106 and 113 pounds moved up to 120 this season and landed on opposite sides of the bracket.
Flack earned the No. 1 seed by virtue of his longer track record at state — he placed fourth as a sophomore — but should he and Donayri work their way through the bracket, it will be their first meeting.
It won’t be easy. Donayri has three returning placers in half of the draw, including No. 3 seed Peyton Wafer of Douglas (sixth at 120), and Flack faces a potential quarterfinal with Harrisburg junior John Henderson (fourth at 106).

CENTRAL OREGON (KTVZ) — New rules approved by Oregon regulators aimed at how utilities charge large energy users are expected to have implications beyond Portland General Electric, including for Central Oregon customers served by Pacific Power.
The Oregon Public Utility Commission approved changes allowing Portland General Electric to charge higher rates to large energy users such as data centers. The goal is to ensure those customers pay for the cost of expanding the power grid, rather than shifting those costs onto smaller or household ratepayers.
The move comes after six consecutive years of rate increases for Oregon customers, driven in part by what PGE describes as an unprecedented rise in electricity demand, with data centers as a major factor.
Under the new rules, large energy use facilities must pay 100% of the cost to expand distribution systems needed to serve them. They must also use at least 90% of their contracted power capacity, with requirements for contract lengths and penalties for exceeding usage or exiting early.
The rules define large energy users as facilities capable of drawing more than 20 megawatts of power at a time. A separate category for “very large loads” — those exceeding 100 megawatts — includes a 1 cent per kilowatt-hour surcharge, with funds going toward reducing energy burden for vulnerable customers.
The order also includes a queue system to ensure new large users can only connect when enough zero-emission energy is available to meet demand under House Bill 2021.
While the decision directly applies to PGE, Pacific Power is proposing a similar approach for customers in Central Oregon.
PacifiCorp exclusively sent a statement to KTVZ News, saying utilities have seen a growing number of extremely large new load requests in recent years, requiring significant investments in transmission and generation infrastructure.
The company has filed a proposed tariff with the Oregon Public Utility Commission under House Bill 3546 to create a new rate schedule for “New Large Energy Use Facilities.” Under the proposal, large energy users such as data centers would be required to cover the costs of infrastructure upgrades needed to serve them.
PacifiCorp said the approach would allow the utility to meet the needs of large energy users while continuing to invest in infrastructure and protecting affordability for other customer classes.
PGE has until June 3 to file a new pricing system to implement the order, which would take effect June 10. The utility is also required to begin annual reporting on large energy users starting June 1, 2027.
PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — The Oregon Department of Forestry is asking Oregonians to be careful when disposing of yard debris this spring.

“There have already been 23 escaped debris burns for a total of 83 acres reported on ODF-protected land in 2026,” the agency said.
The agency said that at this time last year, it had responded to 37 escaped burns.
“More than 70% of wildfires every year in Oregon are human-caused, with escaped debris burns topping the list,” ODF said. “With record-low snowpack and an abnormally warm winter, forecasters are anticipating a hotter and drier summer than usual.”
The Central Oregon District of ODF has already declared the start of fire season.
On May 14, fire restrictions will go into effect for all Bureau of Land Management lands in Oregon and Washington.
“We are increasingly concerned that 2026 could rival the most extreme years on record for heat and dryness in the Pacific Northwest,” said Jeff Fedrizzi, assistant chief of operations for the Pacific Northwest, U.S. Wildland Fire Service. “Every visitor must understand that even one small spark can lead to a costly and destructive fire in these high-impact conditions.”
Officials say the restrictions will help reduce the risk of human-caused fires. BLM officials say anyone who violates the prohibition could be fined up to $100,000 and/or face up to 12 months in prison.
More information on fire season is available on the ODF website.
The Bureau of Land Management website has additional information on fire restrictions and closures.
