The Flashes traveled to Santa Paula Wednesday night for a schedule Tri-Valley League Wrestling Match. To prepare for the match Coach Cal pulled up several JV Flashes wrestlers to fill holes in the roster in the hopes that they could add to the team points. This was the first time this season the two teams lined up across the mat from each other. The wrestling action was fast paced and action packed. Fans from both schools made their presence known early on by the thunderous cheers during each match. Alex Rivera and Jonathon Minero both showed good control of their opponents. Kyle Castaneda and Christian Conaway all won their matches by points after each going 3 full rounds. Both wrestlers had been fighting colds all week and reported for duty in the best shape possible. Robert Bonilla, Team Co-Captain started his match off in an aggressive manner which resulted in a fast pin. Sammy Orozco won by forfeit. The final team score was Santa Paula 48, Fillmore 30. Individual match videos can be viewed below.
