Senator Freshman Abigail Golik puts up a shot against South Tahoe defenders Saturday at Reno High.
FALLON — Carson High’s wrestling squad opened the season with a 5-3 record at the two-day Fallon Duals Tournament.
The Senators lost to Lowry’s A team (50-15) and Elko (42-27) on Friday, and posted wins over Yerington (54-21) and Spanish Springs B (60-28). On Saturday, CHS beat Lowry B (60-18), Fallon B (60-12) and Dayton (72-9), and lost 44-36 to Spanish Springs’ A squad.
“Definitely better on Saturday than we were on Friday,” CHS coach Nick Redwine said. “We lost 44-36 to Spanish Springs, but we wrestled most of the weights really tough. Overall I’m happy, but we definitely have some work to do to be where I want us to be.”
Leading the way for Carson were Jesse Case, who compiled a 7-0 record (all pins) at 182, and Kyle Rudy, who was 6-1 (5 pins) at 138. Heavyweight Brandon Macias, a first-year wrestler, had four pins en route to a 4-2 record.
“Jesse was on top of his game and was the clear leader,” Redwine said. “He controlled his matches from the start and made very few mistakes in a pretty competitive weight class. Rudy was right behind him. He isn’t quite where we want him to be yet, but he made some good strides toward regaining the smoothness and technique that he displayed at the end of last season.”
Ariel Vega (106) went 3-2 with three pins, Eli Thomas (120) went 4-3 with two pins, Alex Wells (160) went 3-2 with three pins, Zach Bumby (145) went 4-4 with three pins, Mark Trost (132) was 3-3 with three pins and Ty Evans (195) was 2-2 with two pins. Luis Mayoral (113) went 2-5, Jeremy Heaton went 0-5 at 170 and Gurjant Mand went 1-7 at 215.
