PASCO -- Hermiston wrestler Joey Delgado won't back down from anyone on the mat, but the same can't be said about his opponents.
Delgado beat Walla Walla's Anthony Stalder on Friday to reach the finals of the Best of the West tournament at Pasco High School, then pinned Kellen Pelzel of Cen-tralia in 3:12 in the 145-pound finals.
"Really, this year kids are backing up. They don't want to wrestle me," said Delgado, a three-time Oregon state champion. "They want to keep it close. I need to keep pressure on them the whole time."
