Seniors Adrian Morales and Amir Faraj-Perry of Willow Glen each qualified for the state wrestling tournament held March 7­8 at the University of the Pacific's Spanos Center in Stockton. Both were eliminated in two matches.

Morales, a league champion who placed third at the Central Coast Section finals, lost his first match 6-2 to a Vacaville wrestler, then lost by default a match later to face elimination.

Faraj-Perry, second in league because of an injury default and then third at CCS, lost by fall to a Nevada Union wrestler, then dropped a tight 4-0 decision to a wrestler from Ayala in his last match.
