FILLMORE - The Fillmore High School wrestling teams recently competed in their final two Citrus Coast League duals of the season, traveling to face Channel Islands and Nordhoff High Schools. The Flashes experienced a mix of highs and challenges across the boys and girls squads, showcasing strong individual performances.
On Wednesday, January 14th against Channel Islands, the varsity girls fought hard but fell 36 – 29, with key wins from Naomi Bonilla and Delilah Cervantez keeping Fillmore competitive throughout the dual. The varsity boys delivered an exciting victory in the same meet, edging Channel Islands 42 – 36, thanks to strong performances by Elijah Sandoval, James Alcantar, Emiliano Castanon, and Gonzalo Landeros.
The following week on Wednesday, January 21st, the Flashes traveled to Ojai to face the Nordhoff Rangers. The varsity girls earned a narrow 6 – 0 victory, with freshman Sofia Montelongo securing the only match of the evening, as Nordhoff was unable to field a full squad of female athletes. The Flashes boys fell 58 – 18, despite determined efforts from Fillmore’s key wrestlers.
In league dual competition this season, the boys finished in 3rd place as a team with a record of 2-2, while the girls finished in 4th place with a record of 1 - 3. Hueneme finished 4 - 0 and won both the boys and girls Citrus Coast League team titles.
The Flashes will next compete at the Citrus Coast League Finals at Hueneme High School on Saturday, February 7, at 10 a.m., where they will vie for individual league honors in each weight class and aim to qualify for the CIF postseason individual championship tournaments.

Wednesday, January 7, FHS Gymnasium — The Fillmore High School wrestling program celebrated Senior Night in memorable fashion Wednesday evening, honoring seven graduating student-athletes before hosting league rival Santa Paula in a Citrus Coast League dual at the FHS Gym. In front of a spirited home crowd, the Flashes earned a split on the night, with the varsity boys claiming a dramatic 41–36 victory while the varsity girls battled hard in a 48–36 loss to the Cardinals.
Prior to the opening whistle, Fillmore recognized its senior class for their years of dedication to the program. The girls team honored seniors Delilah Cervantez, Michelle Pinedo and Skyla Sandoval, while the boys program celebrated Emiliano Castanon, Tony Lemus, Gonzalo Landeros and Eddie Padilla. Each senior was acknowledged with family members at their side.
On the mat, the boys team delivered a thrilling performance, edging Santa Paula 41–36 in a meet that came down to key bouts and crucial wins. Freshman Elijah Sandoval powered his way to a victory by technical fall, while fellow freshman Isaiah Salazar secured a momentum-shifting pin. Senior captain Gonzalo Landeros made a statement by bumping up a weight class from 165 to 175 pounds to face Santa Paula’s Aiden Ramirez and earning a decisive pin that proved pivotal in the team outcome. The girls varsity squad traded wins with the Cardinals but ultimately falling 48–36. Seniors Delilah Cervantez and Skyla Sandoval both were upset by young upstarts, suffering losses by pin.
The Flashes final home meet will be Tuesday, January 27, in a non-league dual meet vs. Newbury Park High School.
