Galant wins two in Stockton contest
Del Mar sophomore Jerry Galant didn't place at the state wrestling tournament held last weekend at the University of the Pacific in Stockton. But for a sophomore, Galant did all right.
The Del Mar star won two of three matches at 217 pounds in the first day of the competition to advance to the second day of the tournament--and that's quite an accomplishment for any wrestler, let alone a sophomore in one of the higher weight classes.
Galant opened with a 4-0 win over John Orille of Galileo, but lost a tough 4-2 decision to Ken Pamanian of Downey. He came back with a thrilling 2-1 win over Eric Sandie of De La Salle, though, to move to the second day of the competition.
Galant lost a 3-2 heartbreaker to Darren Murphy of Vacaville to face elimination.
