Three Rams in CCS mat tourney
By Dick Sparrer
It's a competition that offers an all-expense paid weekend getaway as the grand prize.
But that getaway will be to Stockton of all places. Fans, though, will be amazed just how hard competitors will work to win that two-day trip.
They can win it by placing high enough at the Central Coast Section wrestling championships this weekend. And the trip? Well, it's to the State Tournament set for March 2-3 at the University of the Pacific in Stockton.
The top four placers in each weight class advance to the state meet, and it's an honor just to make trip. But, then, it's quite an accomplishment to place that high at the section level.
Wrestlers will be trying to do just that when the compete at the CCS finals Feb. 23-24 at Independence High School in East San Jose. Only the top placers from league tournaments held over the past two weeks advance to the CCS event.
Henry Chavez will top a list of three Willow Glen wrestlers to make the trip to the CCS tournament.
Chavez, a senior, placed second at 142 pounds in the Blossom Valley Athletic League to win a berth at CCS.
Seniors Daniel Valadez and Adam Copas also placed high enough at the BVAL meet to win berths in the section finals. Valadez was fourth at 137 pounds and Copas finished fifth at 154.
