Sprague High School Wrestler Riley Davis, Jr. 170lbs, OSAA 6A State Champion was invited to represent the State of Oregon in the USA Wrestling Folkstyle Showcase in Cedar Falls, IA. He was competing against other State Champions from around the United States in his weight class.  Riley went 4-0 at the tournament claiming the Folkstyle National Championship at 170lbs.This a prestigious event that wrestlers must qualify for by winning a state championship at their weight class. The tournament was conducted on the campus of Northern Iowa university in their UNI-Dome.

Today is National Tartan Day, which is a day that honors America's Scottish Heritage.  Over 25 million Americans claim Scottish descent.   

Many people wear plaid, kilts, or capes on this day to honor their Scottish roots.

The April date is significant because on April 6, 1320, the Scottish Declaration of Independence was signed.

This document states  “It is in truth not for glory, nor riches,  that we are fighting, but for freedom ... for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.”

In our revolutionary war, Scottish troops provided vital support to gain our independence from Britain.

In Scotland the word for horray is Yaldi, so today we say, Yaldi for Scotland.
