 some really interesting matches for example upper weights you can see Daniel Cruz, you can see Jesse Berry and going through out the line you can see quite a few kids that are really pretty good and hopefully they'll be doing really well at CCS. I think we've got so many wrestlers who come through this program they're here all the way on through now this is a special night and sometimes a sad night if you're an Aptos mariner for 20 years Reggie Roberts has been the headman for Aptos what is his emotions and how about his teeth how about his teeth what are those emotions going through? Oh yeah I can certainly imagine what some of those kids are going through on the flip side of that you know he's got the Rudy Grizzly coming in he's been he was a wrestler for Reggie he knows exactly what what to do and I'm sure going to be the punch but he will be greatly missed I think you're right on that one we are about ready to go so so right now they're in an over and under position he reaches over grab the single leg Camelia's fighting pretty tough on the edge of the mat she's not giving it up that easy referee indicates two for red possible near-fall points here calls it out of bounds now in high school now the new rule this year is you can get back points near-fall points out of bounds as long as you meet the criteria both knees being in bounds a beautiful standard but to a few and he redrop the leg down the mat looks like he's working on a bar here now what's he's trying to circle is he trying to just get more sliding over his shoulders yeah so what he has now like I said he's got that bar arm and he's going to try to force himself around the front of her head to expose her to a fall or a niffle punch and Camelia's job right outside of trying to stay off her neck is to stay out of trouble exactly right you know counter counter that bar arm but he seems like he has it pretty tight he led over the wrist how would Camelia try and counter any of this outside of get out of bounds there you go she's got the one point escape oh she tries to do a little slide by misses it it was pretty close score being two to one right now she attempts a sweep single right she's in a front head lock position right here she's trying to go back she's trying to go around and the process is going around she's exposed her legs and of course she scores the two point possibly near fall punch no does not get near fall punch so right now she's going to lie down she seems to be she seems to be getting her arm trapped quite a bit which is going to be a real challenge for her so we come out of the first two minutes we're supposed to be on top at four to one that was interesting on how the two work with each other oh you're absolutely right in this particular situation it looks like he deferred okay Camelia chooses down hoping to get the one point to close the gap four to two to see what happens how tight is he on her elbow they just have it they don't really grab it but when the whistle blows it looks like he's doing a really good job of sucking that elbow in like he's doing right now trying to create that barn absolutely she's got got to get up to her feet she's reaching back a little bit trying to shake him off coming up in no attempt on his wrist seems to have a hold of her waist it looks like he's pretty good control of his bash right now you are absolutely right about he's controlling her pretty good making it really difficult for her to score any points for that matter even get out now she looks like she's in a position to possibly get one if she can square up and she closes the gap now four to two and they're booking the clinch position ties with an underhook on the left side I'm sorry Gary but I know sir you're trying to get each other's head to come down if you can get it below yours you've got an advantage yes if you can get their head below below yours and snap them down to them that's a big advantage it looks like that's what she's trying to do she's up the head right at one of her legs so hopefully she can correct that problem one thing I noticed about Russ on that one when she went for that push down he's got to drive with her legs to come into her you're absolutely right about she's got to give ground otherwise she's going to be taking advantage of that situation there's a little slide by what we talked about earlier there's the two-point kick down that's what she's going to come in as a favorite technique that she has so right now she's putting kind of top all right four four four four is a story so right now she's underneath what control the wrist time running out we just see what happens in his third round what what red chooses yeah it looks like she's trying to bring that arm out for back points forward you can see it right there in that way two seconds three seconds I think you get a all right well this will be interesting he chooses neutral it's going to be four to four let's see what happens a good right hook cleanse she's trying to do a snap she's got the front headlock and that's how she did a good job of keeping her legs away yes she did as you saw before he was driving her legs this time she did she looks like she's attempting a knee top which means for her the right arm is trying to go cross the first side out of bounds so who yeah this size group I don't mind being right in my kitchen and we get 280 covers oh yeah we have no problem yeah I'm putting you in first oh one thing that we got to say about today she placed a ccs last year oh looks like she's looking at her senior job almost has it she says she's gonna go instead of going for the senior job she decided to secure the two point takedown putting her head six to four now she's got right up which is what she's doing referee cost potentially dangerous as she slipped in the boots meaning long legs legs inside canola's record is 25 and 10 19 kids over the year and last year she placed that ccs fourth I believe the third this is she placed fourth just one one placement away from going to state but she's top she's a very good offseason she'd be interested to see her success yes right now she's got those boots in which means her legs and she's using it using her legs to her advantage to control them power half up on top she's got a lot of hip pressure warning warning on red it's very hard to do anything from the bottom position and she has those boots especially somebody like her she knows how to use that hip pressure you see that where he just automatically dropped to sit down to the mat she's doing a great job of controlling him with the armpits now she's going for the she's going for power look at this left leg is given which means that one thing that that we should mention about her is she's one of the Santa Cruz Gold members which means that she's committed eight months last year going into the high school season it's definitely paid off for her so she's one of the Gold members once again has put in a lot of time and she's beaten the success of us oh yeah they go right into that cliff she's trying to snap that head down makes a single leg attempt reaching for that leg they're both maintaining good position right now they're in good head-to-head situation a lot of hand fighting going on right there and that can tire somebody out just hand-fighting fatigue definitely sets in she looks like she's got a good headlock with the angle looks like she's trying to prepare cradle but wasn't quite sure oh there you go she's got cradle referee calls that out of bounds it was a great call she was still in bounds with a pitting combination yeah she looked like she was in control that's so yeah that question he's in on a shot she's countering thanks for awarded yeah as long as he held on to that foot no points were going to be awarded they go right immediately right back into a clinch she tries to head snap the gun underhook on the left side oh a tense shot pops out pops out to a double leg shot a nice drop there and yes immediately goes into a spiral her hand is in the park area right hand on half Nelson she's controlling them pretty good he tries to switch she jams in him brings him right back down to the mat time running out and he's going to defer to her she chooses neutral for her part because he seems quicker to be able to go for a you know a leg shot either a single or a double oh absolutely she's working to her strength which is on her feet but the escape is something you can't cannot avoid sooner or later you have to make sure that you have some good skills down at that bottom to be able to get a nice snap down good kick out that looks like she's going to drive into him driving for two points the kicks are four to lead looks like she's got a cow catch with that left hand pushing him over to the back she does she hasn't she's pretty stoked in the program there they've done a great job in turning their program brown Evan Carrillo coming out on the mat we're at the 1212 pounders coming through right now they're still fast but they're also strong he's from that side of the senior league record at five and one in George Mendoza out of Soquel to know that that's a program that used to be when you were coaching that was a very prominent program yeah under Don Fishburne Don did a great job of recruiting kids but uh things change you know everything is simple Soquel in the blue and Atos in the ocean yeah we'll call it camouflage we've got the number one seat and the number two seat Evan Carrillo that first being the number one George being the number two by the way George goes by Spider-Man oh yes he does you can see why George doing a nice lot of lanky legs on he's got some good leverage if he can use it both of these guys look like they're pretty good matchup there's a club to the head George comes back with a tie Atos High School which this sport of wrestling helps you to score the football absolutely one of the greatest things that kids could do to be a better football player is to wrestle so much contact he's in on shot it's the team going to take them possible dangerous situation there with that arm look where he's got to be more careful you have to have flexibility and strength if I were out there doing it you'd hear a snap pop and that would be the end of it you both at this point in our lives we're doing 60 sets of football here whistle blue he went for the outside ankle looks like he's trying to work cross face cradle a little bit uncomfortable for the for George the cross face can you know can be a very effective George is in a good position to be able to get out and get one but he seems to stay in there to see what happens if he loses the opportunity to score at least get one quick escape looks like I might run out yeah sometimes I think as coaches you want to teach your kids get out and get one so like George is in a position where he could have gotten one point and you aren't getting none it's interesting how he looks like he's got the wrist controlled underneath going through the crotch might be working for a possible tilt right now it seems that he has uh George under control pretty good folks if you're watching this in the end you'll see what their hands are doing it's really fascinating and how they're you know working for holes to get leverage advantage it's really part of the science of this sport George attends the shorty will sit out and Evan follows through nothing happening now but a nice shot of the state displayed out as he can keeping those arms away but Corrillo's they have a got you a got a wrist and I know I'm going to try and crank the load he's controlling them pretty good with the wrist control down there a lot of hand finally we talked about earlier giving George a real tough time to get out. Fortune favor of Evan from Aptos High School. Evan's a senior overall record 14 and 12. Doing a nice job of really really controlling the dozer. He's outside of this one foot. Looks like he's trying to set up a cradle he has but I don't know if he's gonna have enough time. The official is there so I talked right now forward to nothing as we enter into the third round and it was his choice. He chose Neutral. Quick on the attack. I don't know if George is just ready. Yes he's definitely showing signs of quick explosion on his feet. He's working to his advantage which obviously has been taken. This is the third time now he's tying him up as he did the other two rounds. In the previous couple of rounds we saw a lot of quickness on the feet of getting and trying to get around behind the turn of the opponent. I don't see it quite so much in this one. No you're absolutely right. Seems like Evan is referring to just control him on his feet but oh we have a quick reversal right here. Oh it was a possible reversal reversal but Evan clears his foot out giving him only a one point escape. That was a very good execution of slipping his foot back out and sitting on top 61. Round three there's another shot he seems seems to be catching George you know in a situation where George is not lowering his position to avoid being taken down. It's a sort of like view of the goal rush like a lead fullback on a football team. He's coming right at it. Good one center of gravity. Looks like George is lowering his position now a little bit. He knows he needs a fall. Yes he does he needs something big. He blows the whistle back to the center. Oh so if you like this sport is entertaining it's fun to watch. Pretty close. Yeah but we've got an injury in his career and I don't know if you got the wind knocked out of it. We'll say he got the wind knocked out of it. I'm trying to be as diplomatic as possible. You have a great job of doing. Thank you. It's years of having shots come back to me as a pitcher and then they get on the ground. Momentary timeout while everything gets such as wind and readjustment back to him. And Shane Coach Shane Torres over there talking to George and okay buddy come on still plenty of time to pull up a big move here. You can do it probably talking to him about lowering his stance on his feet. I'm looking at Evan Stats. He was a SECAL champion as a ninth grader. Second place the SECAL as a sophomore and as a junior. So he's really something and also he's invested in the U.S. Air Force. He's going to be a fly boy. If this injury is going to deter the young man at all. Now it doesn't seem like it. Oh he's back in on that leg again. It seems like he's just able to get that leg at will. Sets him up a little bit of push and he goes underneath. Grab that leg just like that where for he calls George, Red, Staly. Next one will be a one-point penalty. That's on his part. With only 11 wrestlers in the finals of their 55-some-odd wrestlers. Great red. He continues to do what he does and if those kids get him ready. So coming up next, 128 Luke Kishaw. Guess where he's from folks. Aptos. 6-0 to the lead. Two sophomores going after him. Yes, sorry. So hopefully we'll see some good wrestling here. He's two young guys. Luke finished second in the Marin Catholic tournament and third in the Harvard-Vosch sophomore. So he's got a little bit of powder. Again the camouflage You guys wrestle in the mid the entire time since I'm not that old. And now here's Gutson actually. I've got a shoulder injury sometimes so he's a little wrapped up. Hopefully that won't end his performance. All right, that's a wrestling. Nice single leg. That's the funnest athletic event I think in the Santa Cruz Coach Athletic League. You're absolutely right about that. We have a good crowd here tonight and these people wrestling. We have our first Harvard kid tonight. Yep, he's in the tie-dye. That's Jack Greathouse. Marcus Dahl for two. Jack being the number one. Marcus being the number two seed. Marcus with some wrist. Like how both of these wrestlers have tried to keep their lower body away from each other. So they're both in the title of the half. He can't even position the wrist. Oh there's the first shot. Looks like he's got him in a bad position right here but he manages to pin her out. You know, if I'm Greathouse, why won't I let him split up and make it harder for me? That's absolutely the wetter the base the better. Marcus, you're slapping me. You sure this is not boxing? Sometimes it can be. Oh somebody gets the first one right here. I like that attempt by Greathouse but also a good job I done to just kick back. What position can Don get if he's fast? Can he get around behind before they stood up? No, I think that they would have to be in a different position to be able to get behind. Especially in that particular situation because his hands were being tied up. Looks like he's got a thin headlock trying to get an angle trying to get behind and he looks like he's also going to be working on the ball right here. He's got his hands pinched up. Quick two there yet. The referee's not to take them. I think this match saw they've done a great job. Their numbers are back up. They ended up this year in third place. Which Steve Bauszko is doing a fantastic job. His kids are young. So it's interesting to see how he brings his kids along. I really like to see how some of these programs have come back. Yeah, you're up to Santa Cruz. Santa Cruz Harbor, Aptos continues just there to the machine. Yes they are. He's got his head in the hole, swings back behind for two. The armpits. The wrist start for both of these kids is like who has who? At times it looks like who has been absolutely right. Who has control of who? Head down. Which if you've ever wrestled, you know when you're having to be pushed down and that next beat is underneath us. Not a good situation. Peel it off. Kings to try to score back points. Nice job. Nice job. We didn't mention this is the number one and the number two seed. Seen here. We're going to see some good things from going again next year. He said he's working a power half attempt to the first side. After analysis, a little jump over. Gotta be careful. Looks like he's in a bad position right here. No reversal points given up yet. Here we go. The referee not only does he give up two, he gives a back point. Five seconds after you've met the criteria. Criteria is breaking at 90 degrees. If you hold your opponent for three seconds, then you get two points. Hence you've got that official sitting down to the side with that count. One, two, and they're three and if they see that the 90 or whatever the degree is. They'll award the points depending on how long they've held him in that position. Got it. So Greyhouse now is down. Don's going to be on top. We're entering to the third. Don's on top. Five to four. Looks like he's working the wrist control. A little bit of pressure on the head. Got a nice little tight waist going on down there. Greyhouse keeping that right arm as far out as he can. Don again now with control of the waist. Nice and waist hold. He's trying to work his way around. He's doing a good job done with the legs. He's just really notified. Greyhouse can get out and get one and we tie the score up. If it's a tie and a regulation, they go into overtime. We haven't had any of those tonight. So this is a good example of getting, there you go. Now the score is tied. I wouldn't rush many of them. Yes he was. He was unseated. Freshman. So this will be really interesting to see this match tonight. The more mature wrestler, obviously Ryan and sophomore, junior, excuse me. This is a good example of getting points out of bounds. His toes were in bounds. So it looks like he took the real quick. The three-point near fall. Which means they held them once again down to more than five seconds. Media criteria. In second place, Braga. Second place in SCCAL. Nice little move by Sam trying to escape, but Braga's defense. And I think he's strong. Oh no, absolutely. Oh holy cow, he's going to be a very, very, very good wrestler. Yes he is. You know, Sam is one of the kids that puts in a lot of time in the off season. And Ryan, Ryan is a junior, so he'll be back next year. Okay, yeah. I'm sorry, I was looking at the wrong wood. He's a junior. Yeah, I was looking over at Reggie and Ryan giving her a big embrace. And that's, Reggie says so many wonderful things about this wrestler. I'm moving on to the 108th 47 pound Justin Parker out of St. Francis. Nico Raskler out of Harvard. And we have a freshman and a junior right here. Well this will prove to be entertaining. Nice shot by Justin, gets in deep on that double-edged shot. He's a high crotch. Getting like wheels him in. Looks like he's just bullducking Matt. Yes, he's putting a lot of pressure on Nico, kind of, he's definitely controlling him. He's dropping him back down to the mat. Looks like he's got a little barb tilt that he's working in there. Referee gives some swipes, but not enough. Gives him 16 and one. Right footer. And you see, see this, yeah. Yeah, looks like he's got that barb pretty tight on Nico. He's got that far wrist and the bar near side bar. He's got plenty of time. He's got the hook nicely done. Transition from the wrist to the hook. Working a little bit still with a lot of the wrestlers over at Watsonville. Watching St. Francis grow down, as far as the numbers, they've only got like 270 kids, but they've got a lot of talented kids over there. Oh yes, they do. The whole school is just, all their athletic programs are good, good talent for kids coming, coming out. Here we go, who we got out here? Fred St. Francis, again, Leonard Lickenburg. Number two seed against an unceded. And then the seed is Tyler Slay. He has dropped half toss. You can tell by the camera though, that bright blue age, or just the way he looks. Back to inch, release, come back out. Nice shot by Tyler. And on the single leg, wizard by Justin. The hunt, excuse me, actually very, very safe sport. That wrist, but it's good to put this little guy who's on top. He's doing a great job of controlling them. Nice to reach out, referee making sure that he's not cross good. Anytime they're referee they're not cross good. Okay. So if you're on all floors, and he ties around the waist, that is extremely possible. We have both of the coaches, so for these are just across those in the corners. And sometimes it's more entertaining to watch the coaches. Oh boy, you're absolutely right about that. I could tell you some entertaining stories. The body language, especially more than their student athletes are wrestling. At times I'm sure they come off the bat. After the wrestler, then they are probably totally exhausted. Doing a great job of controlling him here. Down to one inch, to the zero. Tyler's going to have to, oh, he's still going to putty a ton. You've got all of the second, all of the third to go. He chose down, hoping to get that one point, close the gap. But he's got to be able to get up and not get that one. It looks like he's going for a switch, because he hasn't played yet. Not yet, referee has not. At this point, it looks like he's lost control. Still, Red is in control. Now he has control. Reversal there, and he goes into a quick lead drop right there. Nice job, thanks. Cool wrestlers here to the SCCA finals. Hunter being a sophomore, and Slade being a junior. And 14 as they are both being deposited right in front of the St. Francis coaches. The wrestlers immediately go into either of your, oh, ankle temp, ankle, pick a temp. So they wide it off. All right, for the Colt Invitational, he was a consolation finalist. And if you've ever folks, if you've never been to one of these massive tournaments, like Pat Lovato-Bassett, there's countless numbers of stroke in this one. Oh, yes, and the talent level is just incredible to watch. Some of the best about the state tournament can compete. Three to two, another slide by a temp, out of balance. You were almost here ready to give it the first two sides that I could beat you. Put that up for that. Yeah, up for that, I'm done. That looks like it's going to end. Three to two, and this has been happens here. Another slide by a temp. At this level, we were going to say that our thoughts and prayers are passing along by the SCAL Commission. We're going to go through some health issues. So all of our prayers and loves to the big man, because he's done a lot here in Santa Cruz County for all of athletics. Yes, he has. You know, I'm just blessed to be here, taking his place for the time being. Hopefully he'll be back once he gets off. I'm sure with his sand up, he hasn't lost control yet. Come here with a storm, so they did a great job of hanging on. It looks like his controlling is pretty good. Hunter sees to be able to get up to a speed. There's that one-hand escape, put it in the head, go to two. If one wrestler who looks like his control is still in the circle, the referee can continue. If there is a takedown criteria, for example, yes, and the toes are in balance, they met the takedown criteria that the referee will call it. If both wrestlers step out of bounds, that may be in this case, no. Still in balance, exactly. Hunter looking for fun headlock. He's got it. There's that ankle. This is to wait on this next couple of years' foot because of the shakeup in the football with St. Francis. Now St. Francis is moving all around athletics out of the SCCAL. Yes, they are. And just like Watsonville did with Brisbane, giving the once pretty powerful SCCAL to have the distortion go about the looks. Well, what's happening is, as the teams lead, SCCAL, what happens is the NBL gets bigger. These teams are moving the margin over to the NBL and a team is going to get three leads in the NBL. That's right. Here we go, 162. Donovan O'Brien from Santa Cruz. David Moore from APCAUSE. O'Brien is a senior more out of APCAUSE in the softball. For somebody like me who's been around for 37 years and remembers the SCCAL, for what it used to be, it's disappointing. Sure, yeah. Things have changed a lot. A nice attempt. Double eight shot there, Moore cut it off pretty good. Cruz sits on top in control. He's sitting on top with a two-point lead. We're only in the first round. He's got his hands tied up underneath, put his belly down, make it really difficult to double base. Babe will score one point. Fighting for your life. You're absolutely right. You have to be able to make good, quick decisions based on the situations. You've seen tonight plenty of opportunities for kids to score one point and stay in there and not getting any points at all. The Zionsburg record was five and four. Moore, his overall record was 14 and 13. So he's seen a lot of house. The more experienced you're going to get, when lose or draw. Rules would allow me against the toughest competition. You're absolutely right. You want to be the best you've got to move with us. I talked about it before. They were there five days a week. Three of them were practicing two of them were games in the baseball situation. But we had a lot of dedicated athletes when I was at Amtos. And the same thing when I moved them. And I know you did also a lot of them. Well, it's one thing we put his need to insist on this commitment and dedication. Let's just see if there's a message here. Seems like he's doing a really good job of controlling. You can see that it's pushing off the back feet, his back feet. Pressuring him down. He's got to be careful. He doesn't pull a fool in the house then. That would hurt. Coach Erdogan. Really good job. Two short years up like we mentioned earlier. So he should be excited for the SSCO. Looks like he could pull something out. Three. And it looks like for Brian. Oh, he indicated neutral. Then he changed his mind and decided to go down. Try to get to the clinch for an escape. Definitely or reversal. No, there's always an opportunity to score a reversal. Oh, that's good. Highly up, yeah. Oh, you're absolutely right. You know, it just takes a lot of courage to be a wrestler and come out. It's not once again, yeah, it just takes a lot of courage. I'll leave it at that. Here's one of the former wrestlers, the CCL. Yeah. Lucy Berry. Yes, you're very on the SAVs. And just see with a 4-0 record on lead. I think the Pugas are at the right number now. Oh, yes, he is. We've got two guys at a Pugas muscular. Because the Valley also has Susan moving on to the state finals. Oh, yeah. Miller's 13, also going with the CCL. Ruby V. Yes, Ruby, that's why I meant to say, Ruby will be going on to the state finals. She placed third at CCL. Yeah, Jesse, he's a wrestler. You can see that because he's dedicated his time, too. But he's also a wonderful guy. Nice. Got some good credentials this year, so far. Yeah. And for the first in the little lawsuit, the sixth in the post-plastic, first in theapolis. And second, it overfilled. Those are three. Really. Really. Good. Cool. It's really tough. Oh, you're absolutely right about that. For him to be able to have that kind of success. Wow, Marcus is doing a great job of fighting Locke. Every time Barry shoots in, and then Mark that just gets close to Locke, there's an attempt. He sends you the football. And they're wrestling like they're two seniors, too. Chance to watch the new wrestler last year. He's definitely a competitor. There's a shot attempt. It's difficult to do anything when somebody's got your hands tied up. There's a shot attempt by Renee. Anticipation. You can see some of the senior wrestlers, and also the very experienced ones that have been wrestling for many years and wrestled kind of on a, I'll say a year-round basis. The anticipation is very evident. Oh, yeah. You see, that was a good example of how one person attempts at something, and the other one reacts and goes quickly. Looking to try and get rid of those wrists and go for a shot, but Renee says no. No. Keegan with a collar tie. That seems to feel pretty comfortable with them, which means comfortable. That's the one thing I've always liked about wrestling. The score may not be much, but the action holds the count. You are absolutely right about that. And the other thing, you can, you know, it's one-on-one, person-on-person, so now we have a lot of women professionals out there which I'm really interested in. So you have to actually do a test every time. Keegan needs a short little sit-up turn. Keegan's just hanging on real tight, and I'm like, it sure is, and he's getting points out of it. All he really has to do is check that out. Just to be mellow, the most part, most of the rest you're starting to hear is YZ, and then I think it's something else. The headpiece is all out of the yellow on the screen, and I was like, here, yes. They really don't. Sometimes the best advice is to give them when there's short time loss like this. I just saw the Aptos coaches quickly disperse to get into the defensive position. They did not want to be in there. They didn't get their own self-pinned on this one. End of round two. He has choice. He chooses new choice. He's going to have to, he needs something big. Keegan on top, 6-2-2. It's like Keegan has. The Aptos wrestlers, they have all kind of gone to the die of the blonde, bleach blood, but some of them with other ones. I would have thought that out of respect for the refinement of their coach, they would have had the same haircut that Reggie had. They probably would have done that and had been brought into their attention. It's a tradition for them to dye their hair blonde. Some of the coaches do it. You see the new coach, Reggie, over there. He's got his hair dyed. But it would have been great to see all the Aptos wrestlers go bald. Yep. And here we go. Round three, 6-2. That was ahead. Yeah, he just seems to be a little bit too aggressive with that head buddy. It's pretty blatant. He's official. He's going to wash it off. There's a shot. The ruling is you must have an arm in order to use the head and arm. Okay. In that particular case, he had just the head and arm. And that can put a lot of pressure and torque on. Oh, yeah, that's definitely a potential dangerous move. As I was saying before, these officials that I've seen them year after year after year, very alert, very safe and conscious. They're up there to protect these young athletes. Yeah. I mean, like, Russell does have his injuries. Boo-Boo is just like any other sport. But when you have two finishers out there, making sure that kids don't misapply any techniques with safety being the main concern for the kids. Well, we've got this little break. This may be one of the few times that I have actually seen all the athletic directors of all the schools and the SCCA in the same place at the same time that didn't have meeting attached to it. Well, that's great for wrestling. I love it. You know, this is also one of the rare times where all those schools are in the same place at the same time. Even though these kids are competitors, they compete against each other, they have these friendships amongst each other. Once it's over, they shake hands gracefully, get sports back, and you'll see a lot of talk between each other after the competition is over. That's one of the things I've always enjoyed about the rest of the years. It's kind of like the middle attitude around, if you come in here, you wrestle, you win, you give congratulations. You're absolutely right about that. A nice address I put a little on. Three periods of intent. Hey, if you come this way, I'll protect you. Oh, please do. I'm not sure how. You know how? I'll grab you, put you in front of me. That would be how. There's one attempt like Felipe. Now, Felipe, the league is ranked third. Current record is 11-5. Section ranked 14-220. On his feet, Felipe comes back to the single leg. Brad still has control. Felipe is still in control here on the edge of the mat. He's riding that ankle pretty good. He's got his weight on him pretty good. He's in a position to score. No, he still does not. He's controlled. Oh, referee. Here's a one point. Interesting. I don't think I would agree with that one. He's just a junior, but it shows up. He's very quick to counter. He can really feel that other wrestler. Oh, yeah, you're absolutely right about that. You know, he's been on the map for a while now. He chooses defer round two. And let's see what Felipe is. Felipe chooses bottom, then he's going to be on top. The big guys, they use their weight to their advantage. Let's see what happens here. And stay in control. Controlling that ankle. I mean, you've got to have a vice grip problem. Where ever. Oh, you're absolutely right about that. Picking on that ankle is basically control. Once you try to get to your feet and you don't want to have, you can't use your other foot. You can't stand up or execute a lot of things. That being a wrestling coach, you are. What drills do you go through for gaining control or gaining strength on the hand to be able to control that ankle? Well, a lot of the strengthening really is done on the kids over in the offseason. There's really not enough time during the rest of the season to focus in on strength training. If you focus in on strength training during the rest of the season, then you're giving up and you're giving up rest on time. Right. So one of the things that does help is the pull up for grip strength. But just getting in there and wrestling a lot of times just strengthens up those necessary muscles that are needed to execute the skill. The hand strength of this sport has got to be paramount. Absolutely right. You shake hands with the rest and most of the time you're going to lose the rest. I can. It was Pat Lovell who scored right in recovery. Oh, there you go. A little medical checkup over on Daniel Cruz Ruiz. Trying to stop the bleeding on the lower lip. It happened because in today's rules. Oh, yes. We have to be very cautious. No bleeding on that. Back under control. Cruz is going to be on top. Maria goes on the bottom. Short attempt to stand up. He's doing a good job controlling the wrist, keeping them down. Nice little rest for both of them. Looking to see if they might have been a little too aggressive going across the face. These two guys are going at each other. Not so we can stop that blood again. Yep. Anybody who's ever cut their lip nose that's not the easiest thing in the world to stop. Especially when you're sweating and somebody else decides they're going to throw a forearm across your face. Ouch. One more time. What got you started in the wrestling, my friend? Actually, well, first of all, I had four brothers, the older brothers. That would start it? Yeah, and they always found somebody to roll around that they're beat up on. And one thing just led to another. I went to Jinnaheim trying to wrestle them. But I think the real point was when I saw my brother wrestling in Jinnaheim College. Man, that was a match. Back then, they didn't even have a bloodbath. Yeah, these two warriors, I mean, we're talking about two of them. This is a great sport, and you figure this is probably the first sport any of us ever did. Mr. Sarka must have made all wrestlers believe in the first sport any of us ever did. It's very natural for kids, and when you see it out of the playroom, this is natural. Now I'm going to show them a good job of keeping them down. This is a good match. For what, excuse me? Absolutely right. There's a front headlock towards the end that might have put off a little bit of circulation on them. Yeah. The end was very quick. Took it right to the mat. They both landed on top of each other, and 200 pounds left on top of me. I'm going to use mobile air. Here's the headlock. This should be round three, and I think the story keepers might not have had that. But he's not gassing out. I was just going to set both. I'm going to maintain good position. There's gas. I'll probably get another two points. These wrestlers in some sports, I say you're the best condition athlete out there, and I always say that about water pull players, because they really never rest. They're always treading water. They're always moving. Somebody's trying to pull them under. Yes. Water pull apart. I call the air pull wrestling number one. Those athletes, phenomenal, phenomenal. Great shoot. I look at these young athletes, and I think very much the same thing. You have to go skin to skin for six minutes. Nobody can look over there and say, Coach, can you sub in? Can you get a model? I mean, I'd look over you to help. Substitute? Yes. Can I have somebody in my weight class? I'm done. Thank you. Yes. No. This is not the WF or whatever that happens, it is. Moving up to the bigger people, or big boys if you want to, 222 pounds. Carlos Mecalo, he is a senior out of Sotel. He's private-owned El Toro, excuse me. Carlos El Toro Mecalo. I gotta get that right. He might be the boy. And Jake Quatero also one of the, he is the tip of the 11. Aptos wrestlers that we've had on this play tonight. He's just as awful. Yes. Carlos is one of the better wrestlers in the section. He was one match away last year, but I believe it was replacing at CCS. So I know having worked with Carlos a little bit, just has some of that. He's pretty hungry. Great student athlete as well, looking at major universities and Harvard. Jeans, but I shot. Carlos is super good. So that's a bold fly. And here's a two point. Play six in the Patent Little Holiday Classic in the second and he counts the side. Nice to watch Carlos at the opposite of that match that he lost with Eli Poser and then we would see him, but he did a good job with it. Did you start the episode? Yes, I actually did start the episode with the help of some good, you know what I mean? Assistants, Gus Paas, Thio Camaro, who just hit the knucklepot. They look both good. Oh, I like that one. That is the spot. Oh, that beat the best. So little light, so little bit of light. Come on top of that thing. Oh, my God. You also had a pretty good athlete. Great man, Robert is. He's still around school, helping out. You're kidding. Coming up for the director, the best. Stand up there by James and redrop by Carlos. Looks like Carlos is slipping in some boots. Got a far half on. Boy, this is torture right here. And it is very, very uncomfortable. I'm just looking at the shoulder and the extension through the shoulders and the lat muscles. We see a big guy do what Carlos is doing with those legs. That is good stuff right there. He is a technique. The technique is fantastic. Yes. He is looking to score some back points right there. James tries to turn in the state. Guess what, folks? For the last one. Got one more. Absolutely. We got one more. We got the big boys come in. We got the lightweights. These are the guys we got to work out for. I'm going to come back and up. Here, we did a couple of years ago a foul level and I was sitting there. I didn't have this type of a table. I just had a standard table. And I have not seen that move that fast in a long time. And yet my prayers are with Pat get well, my big brother. Yes, sir. Yeah, you can do it. Here we are. 287 is what it is. Justin Torres from half-toss. Isaac DeVilla from St. Francis. Isaac just a sophomore. I went on my side pretty much any time. See the athleticism of these two wrestlers. It just looks as they're pulling it. Say, come on. I'm going to look you right in the eyes. See if I can figure out what it is you're going to do. Look, guys. They're playing in this position right here. Somebody looked in front of the van. It's all it looks like. Justin, his dumb role was going to score two to one. Isaac got a nice shot feeling where he could get loose. He was hooked on the spin. I just think he's actually a pretty good athlete. I've got a chance to see him move around a little bit. He's pretty good. As well as Justin. Isaac's goal is to play division one football after graduating from high school. Justin, six to the run. Captain, turn it. And set it to the general four goal. Slide by brings him down. Additional two before the time goes up. He's going to score four. Watching this. I know Gary and I have enjoyed watching. It's tremendous wrestling. Yeah. It's a really good match to tonight. CTV TV is just sort of happy to do this. We've been doing this for 10 or 11 years. And it's the schools that put the money together to allow us to put this on television. They're able to get money from the parents or the sponsors or however they raise the funds. They give CTV a call. Actually, Reggie is the primary questioner. They're shattered and they're able to get it. That's a great news. We down there does a good job to make sure this thing gets aired. And it's just fun. So much fun to bring this event to the airways. Oh, you're absolutely right. We have this people opportunity to see wrestling at its best here in this area. That was Justin for a little toss of some type. Bringing Isaac down to the map. Bringing the sports six to the run. But having the being televised that's a really great thing. We're the only one now. Wrestling is it since all the other sports don't have that opportunity. So, folks, if you're watching this on CTV, give them a call and thank them for putting this on because this is a spectacular athletic event. Justin still in control. He's not this way because of that. He's keeping Isaac down. He's been free on the year. So he's got a good job. Justin's 17 and 8. The cedar. He's also wrestling for a little bit longer. Nice. Vice-Vice for three points. And he now picks up. He is at 9 here in the SCAL Wrestling Championship here at Santa Cruz High School. And for Edwards and I'm so delighted to have Gary Garcia next to me helping me out. This has been a great night. Sitting here next to you enjoying this fantastic event. As it gets a call here for improper starting position. Okay, educate me on that one. How was that improper? Okay, so Isaac's left. He should be down. Okay. And he was up. Which is a nice improper starting position. Oh, Justin escapes. It's the one. He comes back in on a double leg. And he's got Isaac to show him again. The Ed Ferrell Sportsmanship. And unfortunately, all they got was the young woman's first name, Lilian, out of San Lorenzo Valley. And this sportsmanship not only is it involved, you know, what goes on on the map, but also what goes on in the classroom off the mat. And as you know, Ed Ferrell, just like Pat Lovell, has been a tremendous fixture in youth sports. Oh, absolutely. You're absolutely right. I think it's credible to all the coach. You can honor a student athlete every year like they do. And so having said that, yes, I don't have a first name, but I know that she came down to see who it is. Yeah, she did. She was thrilled. Absolutely thrilled. Still going to give away the final trophy. Do you know what? I don't know what it is, so I'm going to turn to the sides. Well, I'm going to assume because Apos had 11 buys in the finals. And Santa Cruz had six and a percent of them. Once it's a 40-point lead, they pretty much have finished this off. But it's not official yet, so we'll find out shortly. Now, it is the annually presented to the best wrestling team in the SCCAL. It looks like you. Well, it was you, maybe. Yeah, you didn't have the mustache back then. Let's go really quickly through this. That the 200 big boys, Justin Torres with a win over the pin, in the third round in the 220 pounders, Carlos Sintoro Mercado. He came out with a victory. Daniel Cruz at 1.85, we're going to reverse order. Keegan Nutt and Jones out of Apos. He was the winner of the 182-pound class. Jesse Berry in the San Lorenzo Valley. The winner at 1.87 pounds. Donovan O'Brien of Santa Cruz. Winner in the 1.60s. Hunter Blankenshed, excuse me. Blanken Perg, 152 pounds. Justin Parker, 145-pound winner. Brian Braga out of Apos. The winner is 138. Harvard came up with the victory, and that was Jack Greenhouse on very good about with 132. Joshua Franklin, 126 out of Santa Cruz with a fall. Evan Carrillo with a hard-fought 6-1 victories from Apos. Greta Gustafson from Santa Cruz with a pin or a fall. And we go all the way down to the 106. And that is committee. One of your baronco from Apos, 106. She also wins with a fall. But what you're seeing here is something that's really, really special. You're seeing all the coaches over there organizing and others. That says a lot about the unity of all these coaches from Apos. This is fantastic. This is one of the things that I really like wrestling here in in Santa Cruz. It's hard-fought, one-on-one, go after each other. And at the end, it's one big huge effort. You're absolutely right. You know, if I could interject something. You know, I've got this Santa Cruz Gold Club going on, and the ideology behind it all is to bring as many wrestlers that want to commit offseason training. So we have quite a few kids throughout the time of this time. And the most part seems like a purchase. Hey ladies and gentlemen, we're going to start our last year here. The kids have a place to go and train, right? And you see some of the success on the map today, as well as you will be seeing. And you saw it, TCS, and hopefully at stage one. All right, folks. That's going to wrap it up from Santa Cruz High School, Ford, Gary Garcia, I'm Kurt Edwards. Thanks to all the crew at CTV. And I think I'm peak at this one. If you want to follow wrestling, it's a great one to do it. Till next year, everyone. Good night. Good night.
