Rocklin, CA 95765, CA — Proud is an understatement on how to describe what these young men pulled off at the Thunder Duals. Battling to stay sharp, engaged and loose after an extremely long layoff between the Pool/Championship rounds was the easy part. Wrestlers Andrew Williams, Ikaika Tayo, Alonso Martinez, Braden Davis and Jose Pena battling 1st time nerves of a Varsity Dual. You all knocked it out! Huge wins by Alex Malato, Jeremiah Perez, Gabe Macres and Braden Davis wresting at times out 2 weight classes up! Sacrificing and not giving up forfeits. Varsity leaders Kenzo Pimentel and Kavon Lloyd going true undefeated, 5-0 no forfeits earning undefeated medals. Landon Amick, Jonathan Basco and Isaiah Benson also going undefeated with forfeits. Basco and Benson knowing the assignment needing 2 pins or a pin and a technical fall in the final two matches of the night to take 1st place. Jesse Previtera can’t say enough of your toughness and grit. You had every out to go home feeling and looking like death, 😂. Make no mistake about it, We DO NOT take home the 1st place trophy without you gutting your OT win against Tokay. Finally to our War Eagle Family, THANK YOU for sticking out a very long grueling day! Checking on our wrestlers, checking on Coach Curry and I ensuring we take breaks and having something to eat and drink. WE TRULY ARE A FAMILY!
