"We're real excited about these two guys joining our team," Wells said.
Eng has a career record of 67-6, all at 103 pounds for Newberg. In addition to winning state titles as a sophomore and junior, he also won league championships both years, going 24-1 as a junior and 22-2 as a sophomore; his only loss as a junior came when he was wrestling up a weight. As a freshman, Eng placed ninth at state and third in the league at 103, going 21-3.
In addition to his national Greco-Roman title, Eng has also placed third in the nation in both Greco-Roman and Freestyle and won the Las Vegas Invitational. He has won six straight state titles in Greco-Roman and Freestyle.
"Marty is a pocket Hercules," Wells said of Eng, who is wrestling at 112 pounds this winter. "He's a very accomplished athlete for a high school senior. He's a good student and a great kid, and he's done a fabulous job on the mat. He's competed all over the country and demonstrated why he's nationally ranked. He's real physical and a strong kid for his weight class."
Davis, a three-time league champion, has a 116-12 career record for Sprague. He placed second in the state last season after moving up a weight to 152 pounds, going 41-2. As a sophomore, he was 38-3 in his state championship season at 145 pounds and as a freshman he was 37-7 en route to a fifth-place state finish at 145 pounds.
As a freshman, Davis also placed eighth in a national tournament and last summer he was a member of the Oregon national team.
"Keegan is an outstanding athlete, a very skilled high school wrestler," Wells said of Davis, who is wrestling at 160 pounds this winter. "He's very good on his feet. He's a good competitor and a well-rounded kid, very mature for his age. He's going to be a great addition for our team, he'll be a lot of fun."
