Good evening everyone from the campus of San Lorenzo Valley High School. This is Community TV Sports with a special presentation of the 2012-2013 SCCAL wrestling finals. Tonight the wrestlers from Aptos, Harbor, Scotts Valley, Soquel, Santa Cruz, and San Lorenzo Valley all square off to see who will be the best in their weight class. I am Pat Lettle along with... I'm not Pat Lettle, I'm with Pat Lettle. I'm Colonel Lettle along with Pat Lettle. I wish I was Pat Lettle. I'd be an Olympic wrestler at one point in time. Right now out in front of us is Ken Palestrini, and he's going to introduce some of the former champions in the SCCAL, so I'll let him go for a little bit. Four times CCS, three times CCS, two times CCS champion, four times state wrestler, two times state finalist, and one time state champion. Five times all the time. Welcome everyone to the best wrestlers from our county in the last 35 years. Coming out is Reggie Roberts. He's the head coach for Aptos High School. Pat, he's been there for 15 years in that program, and that's the Cadillac program for everybody here at the SCCAL. Yeah, it certainly is. Reggie has taken that program. Since he's been the head coach, they just turned it upside down. His turn out is two to three times as many wrestlers as any other school in the league. They have by far the best thing now. They have a new facility which really helped out a brand new wrestling room, new mats and everything, and that new gymnasium and auditorium they have there. The studio that they have there is just absolutely beautiful, and so that encourages kids too, and you have new stuff, and the kids look forward to going to practice there. It's really a great field. He has done one of the, I remember from my coaching days there, the wrestling room and the weight room were the same room, and it was a closet. Yeah, you remember, you have the one universal gym with the four sides on it. You got to move that monster out of the way. Wear the mats up every night, put them out. Now they don't do that anymore. The mats are out all the time on the floor, and that sure makes it a lot easier. I used to say to my kids when I was coaching wrestling, and I'm sure it happens today, I'd say to the kids, okay, I got to roll these mats up, give me a hand, and they'd start clapping. Which is of the various, we already met Reggie. Ken Palestrini is center stage right now. He's the San Lorenzo Valley head coach. Brandon Gwynn from Harbor doing a fantastic job. Shane Torres is the head man for Soquel, and Jared Norman, he coordinates Scotts Valley, who probably is the second biggest team here on the SECAL. And one of the things that's really cool about this SECAL program, Pat, is it rotates around from school to school to school. Yeah, every year, that's the thing. It was funny, a couple of years ago, they said, you know, whether than saying who wants to do it, let's just assign it to everyone, so you'll have the championship once every five years, you know, in the rotation. And so it's really worked out well, because what happens is you, whoever does the novice tournament, you do the novice tournament at the beginning of the season, and then what happens is then you have the responsibility of the varsity tournament also. So you get that big egg, you know, twice, you get to make money off the concession stand at both events and so forth. So it's a fundraiser also for the schools that host that, you know. Right. Here come our wrestlers. We will see 28 wrestlers out here on the mat tonight, starting in the 108 class, going all the way down to the big brawlers in the 287-pound weight class. They're going to get an opportunity to introduce each other. A quick little thanks, if I may, to the very sponsors who are making this telecast possible. Dan Whiting's and Whiting's Food 613 Beach Streets down in Santa Cruz. That would be known as the boardwalk. Steve Rebutaro from Performance Food, also known as Ledger on 17th Avenue. Matt Young on Polar Bear Ice Cream, 389 Corral's Coral Street in Santa Cruz. The first one, Jason Silva from SLV, and Ian Elsie from Aptos. They will be wrestling in the 108 class. In the 115 class, we had... We will have... Where's Ian? Is Ian going to take them out? I guess they both did. I've got the magic wrestlers facing these. In the 115 class, Jet Craft from San Lorenzo Valley and Geo Zachariah from Aptos. Moving up a couple of pounds to the 122 class. Ramon... Michael Sandoval from Scots Valley and Ramon Zachariah from Aptos. Aptos will be a repeating theme throughout this entire wrestling match, I have a feeling. 128. Sunny Torres from Soquel and Kevin Eddington from Scots Valley. That's your 128 class. Moving up to 134. From Aptos, Miguel Barraco. Harbour High School, 140. Scots Valley, Nick Reyes. This is one bout that I'm going to look forward to and Miller Clark out of Aptos High. That should be a real good one. From 147, Kristen Leonetti and Mike Pratt from San Lorenzo Valley. What a wrestling family the craft is. They certainly have. They've been doing a great job over the years. From 154 from Scots Valley and Brian Batisto also won 154 from Harbour High School. Moving up the weights, 162. Andy Ramirez from Scots Valley. And then Austin Verdugo from Aptos High School. Getting ready to introduce the 172 pounders. Mitch Gehring from Aptos High School. And Jeremiah Jurado from SLV. 184 getting bigger. Nick DeMauro from Aptos High School. And Balden Deschives from Scots Valley. 197. Colin McKenzie from Harbour High School. And Kurt SLV. Going up 122. This is another going to be a good one. Alex Boncelle from Aptos. And Dakota Francis from Harbour High. These two guys met on the line of scrimmage during the football season. They certainly did. Allen Moreno from Harbour. 287 pounds. And Alex Marquez from Aptos. Those are your 28 wrestlers that we're going to see tonight. And we're going to take a brief time out as we get ready for our national anthem as the crowd recognizes these 28 stellar athletes. Because I'll tell you one thing. Pat knows this better than I do. You can't hide on the map. That's for sure. They say that the saying in the wrestling community is once you wrestled everything else in life is easy. So we'll find out tonight. As the crowd starts to rise for the singing. What do we do? We get to sit here. We get to relax. Probably the toughest song in the world I think to sing. I'm going to go for the sponsors. Kathy Wiley from desperately seeking chocolate dessert sauces. That's my kind of place. Right there. Desperately seeking chocolate dessert sauces. Find them on the web at dscotland.com.

If you've got a ding, a dent, something out of alignment, you can go to Craft Auto Body Shop. They will fix it for you. And of course, the Santa Renzo Valley High School Athletic Boosters. We are ready to go with the 108 Jason Silva. He is in the singlet that has the red on it from Santa Renzo Valley. In the dark blue is Ian Elsie. Jason has the red anklet on. Ian has the green anklet on. We are going first two-minute round. Silva, just a freshman out of SLV. He was, Silva was a fourth place here at the Web Loss Tournament, which is a pretty tough tournament over at Fresno, excuse me, over at Fremont High School in Sunnyvale. Couple of quick little guys out there. He is coached by Todd Kraft, Ken Palestrini and Jesse Mason. And he has a lot of great aspirations as a young man. Ian Elsie from Aptos is 26 and 13 on the season.  His coaches are Reggie Roberts, Rudy Guzman and John Velez. He's got, both of these guys come from good programs and good coaches, Pat. Looks like they're just trying to both evenly matches and you're right, they're quick. What are they trying to do? I know they're trying to figure out how to get in for an attack. Well, it looks like Elsie is trying to hit that takedown with a double and single leg. Ori got caught with a headlock there by Silva. Silva caught him in that headlock. He got extended a little bit too far. Silva was able to put that headlock on and whip him right over. Silva with two points on that. We're now four for Silva. It'll be a three point near-fall. So he's up five zip now. That's a good lead to have to start off with. How can Ian get out of this one, Pat? Well, the thing is, you know, he extended himself a little bit too much and put himself in a bad position on his shot. He didn't set it quite right and he let his head come up there and of course, Jason Silva was smarter enough to take advantage of that. Silva up five nil and he is on the top and I noticed that Ian works really quickly. He's going to try and spread himself out. By doing that, how does that help him? If he can keep himself spread out, that is.  The bounds thought he had a one point escape but I guess not. He still had him under control. So, Elsie's got to fire up out of there and get that one point escape or get that reversal. He's got to make that first move every time, very important. Eight seconds to go here just the first round of the first bout. And it's... Jason Silva is on top right now as far as points is concerned. Five to nothing. The flip of the coin. It's going to be red. Silva says he's going to defer and Ian says go to the neutral position. Watch out for the headlock. They both swatted at each other. It looked like two guys swatting flies there for a second. Yeah, they really... I think really pretty evenly match. Something wrong with our clock here, I think. They didn't get that thing started on time. So they're... They'll wind off a couple of seconds to where the referees feel it's capable. So in 151 we started again. Each round is two minutes here in high school, wrestling. Elsie trying to work on that head and shut that... He got caught again. He got extended. Elsie was able to flip the round out of it that time. That was a great move by Elsie. Two points for Elsie. Five to two in favor of Silva. Elsie stays on top. Silva right now trying to figure out how to get out of it. Elsie saying no. You see Silva tried to roll him on that. He hooked his arm and tried to roll off the bottom. But Elsie was quick enough to get his base back and not get taken over. Silva almost stands up. Quick question, Pat. On the out of bounds, will notice that the wrestlers just get outside the red circle. Boom. They get called forward. Sometimes they see him way outside the circle. Yeah. It all depends on the foot position. The referee will look at their foot position. The position that we saw on the line was both of them had a foot out of bounds. If one of them had both feet in, the other one had one foot out, they're still considered inbound. But the way they were, it was two feet out, one of each wrestler, and they're out of bounds on that. Inside a minute to go, and Elsie is just cranking on that head, putting that forearm pressure right on Silva's neck. Yeah, he's working that bar half now. He's got great pressure on that. And he's going to keep cranking it. Oh, he's going to get him over. Oh, he got him over with it. He helped him already with a brilliant tactical move. Seconds to go. It's the second round, victory for Afton. So that's your 1-0-8, which was Jason Silva in the green ankle against Ian Elsie of Aftos. Elsie walks away with the pin, making more points for Aftos High School, who entered into this final round on top of the team points, 165 points. That's a great comeback. When you're down 5-0 like that, you know, Elsie just kept coming. He wasn't about to, you know, be complacent about his position there. Here come the 115th, Jed Kraft, San Lorenzo Valley High School. He's in the red ankle against Gio Zacharias. He is in the green ankle, dark jersey with the A, the block A for the Aftos Mariners. Ready to go. First of the two-minute rounds. Okay, Zacharias is a defending champion at 113 pounds from 2012. And he's one of the top eight guys in the CCS. Nice move. Nice move by Jed Kraft. That was a nice little throw he had on that. Two points for Kraft. And he is going to try and pull that arm back and definitely keep hold of Zacharias as best he can. He is one of the bright spot freshmen in this league. I'll tell you right now.  And that doesn't happen very often. Here he's got his cross-body ride.  He's got the left-side leg vine. He's working underneath the arms, trying to get Zacharias down flat on his base. That way he can work that, work the arm over and put him in that guillotine position. Inside minutes ago, referee's time out, because neither wrestler was really going anywhere on that one. That's called a stalemate, not position where nobody's making any progress. You'll see the referee give the double fist. That means it's a stalemate and they'll restart him. They're going to restart. Kraft on top, Zacharias on the bottom. Zacharias tries to spin around quick. Good job by Kraft trying to get hold of the ankle to stay on top. He tried that first quick move on the switch, but it didn't quite work for him. There he goes again in the sit position, trying to get his arm free. Here goes Kraft with a stack. Oh, a nice move here for a near-fall. Really, a real nice roll-through on that. He takes the arm across the waist, and he just rolls across his own back. That's a tough one to defend, but nothing you could put out and either side to stop him from doing it. Inside 20 seconds to go in the first round, Kraft trying to maintain control. Zacharias trying to get an escape. For nothing in favor of Kraft at this point in time. 10 seconds to go. Kraft desperately hanging on so he doesn't lose any points, whereas Zacharias getting an escape. Yeah, what Kraft tried to do was take him off his base here with a throw, and Zacharias was able to get his feet up underneath him. Looked like he was going to escape, but Kraft, smart enough, he held onto him and didn't give up a point on that. Ken Palestrini, who's the coach for Kraft for San Lorenzo Valley High School. Time out is going to bop up the mat here very briefly. Pat, these guys have seen each other. They've done the dual meets. They've probably seen each other in the Weber or the Coastal Classic. Advantage, disadvantage. Wouldn't you get to see your opponent a couple different times? Yeah, it's really tough to find out what tournaments they went to on some of the listings that we have here. We see that Zacharias went to some good tournaments, the Ponderosa Tournament. He got third there. He got second at the Webb Lawson Tournament and eighth at the Coastal Classic. Both of these guys are ranked. Zacharias ranked seventh in CCS and Jed Kraft is ranked number 18. So there's a big difference there with the freshman. But I'll tell you, he's doing a heck of a job for a freshman. We got a little blood on the mat. Again, we've got a bloody nose by Jed Kraft, so they're trying to plug it up as best they possibly can. You know, Curtin, looking at the record of the two wrestlers, you have Ramon Zacharias is 28-9 on the season and Jed Kraft is 20-14. So, you know, there's a big difference in a five-match win compared to the two wrestlers. One has five wins more than the other one. And it's just, you know, you've got a freshman that's coming along and he's getting better every single match and he's finding out what high school wrestling is about and it can make a tremendous, tremendous difference. Well, we think we've got that.  It all depends if you're a heavy breather or not.  You better learn really quick. We got the time out right now. They were in the second period, 144 to go in the second period. Jed Kraft from Santa Lorenzo Valley is on top, four to nothing. He is in the singlet, the black and red and white singlet for the Cougars from Santa Lorenzo Valley. In the black singlet from Aptos, again, is Geo Zacharias. The more experienced wrestlers, but right now young Mr. Kraft is doing a good job of holding his own. Yeah, he certainly is. He's really doing a good job. You can see he has the red ankle on and Zacharias has the green ankle on, so... Here they come again. Kraft immediately goes for the ankle and control, loses it for a moment. Now he's got hold of the wrist. So important to get hold of the control of either the wrist or the ankle. Either way to stop his momentum from getting out there. What he's doing now, he's got a double wrist ride on him. What he's probably going to try and do is try that roll-through again to turn him. Here he goes. If he can tie it up and Zacharias does not work his hands very well, then he'll be able to roll through with that. But when the guys fight in your hands, you don't quite have the grip, it's hard to do. Here he goes now for a cheap kill. Now he's in a bad position now. But I'll tell you, for a freshman to come out of that position right there is really difficult. They're both going out through each other. Leg control right now is held by... Looks like Kraft. Yeah, he's got the vine in there. Now he's working for the guillotine. Here he goes, he's got him in the guillotine. He's got that guillotine, but he came with it. No. He couldn't quite hold the arm. He goes right back to it. Right back to it, there he goes. Got him in trouble, here's your count. 20 seconds to go, Rick is to go. Tremendous pressure on Kraft's neck. Kraft at this point in time in the second round. But that was exciting wrestling. That was, that was great. That's what will stir the crowd up. I'll tell you that, that's some great, great wrestling. Momentary time out again. Ken Pellistrini and the referee going over to the scores bench. So much of that right there was about balance, you know.  You lose that balance and you can get yourself into big trouble. But he was able to power back out of it. That was great. We had every match like that wrestling being so exciting that everybody wanted to do it. Everybody wanted to do it, yeah. Well, there was a time back here in the Santa Cruz Coast Athletic League that these teams were maybe not as full as the Aptos team is, but definitely like such as Scott's Valley with about 30 kids on the team, plus their women's division as they have in there. So they're both going, they're going to go for the neutral position with seven seconds to go. They're both going for the head. Oh! Zachariah gets trapped out of it before he could do anything. I think he hurt Kraft on that. Kraft came down right on his head. Right straight down on his head. That didn't look very good. It was a nice, you know, legal throw by Zachariah. But the way he came down, he came right down on his head. His head was bent. Quickly out come the trainers out there. Reggie Roberts. Also the headman from Aptos. Ken Pelestrini, the headman for the San Lorenzo Valley. Todd Kraft, father of Jed Kraft is also out there. Beth Kraft who is the team mom for San Lorenzo Valley. Team moms are something that these these schools just, they just mean the world of. Yeah, this is one of the things you don't want to see.  Still down on the map moving, which is the good part. But I don't know if we're going to be able to see Jed come back. I hope he does. But all for safety. We'll see. Back up one, one tough cookie. Yeah, that was quite a throw. That's one of the best headlock throws I've seen. That's what you see a good judo guy do, you know. So Zacharias and we get ready for the third period. Two minutes in the third period ago. Zacharias on the bottom. 12, 9 is the score in favor of Kraft. Almost a quick move by Zacharias to almost get out. Kraft holding tight. I have a feeling he doesn't want to get to headlock again. Yeah. He's going to stay back. You know, he may try that guillotine again. I think I'd be leery of that at this point in time with only a three-point difference. You know, he can ride him here. Zachariah trying to do an arm roll on him here. He can't quite get enough elevation on his leg. You see him trying to elevate. Yep. He got it over the top that time, but Kraft was able to get him back on his back. That's the one thing you don't want to do. If he doesn't go over, you cannot step up like that. Zachariah with a two-point reversal. Well, 11 in favor of still of Kraft. Kraft just warned for stalling on the bottom. Zachariah has either got to turn him or cut him. He's got to either turn him or cut him, one or the other. Looks like Zachariah's got him in a half milson. Yeah, he's got, he's trying to get that arm bar. He's cranking on that arm a little bit too higher. 50 seconds to go. Kraft up by one. Zachariah needs two more points. Kraft needs to figure out how to get out of this mess. Zachariah trying to circle him behind Kraft. Oh, he's got the cradle. Watch out now. He's got him on the cradle. He put himself into that position. Zachariah's taken from here. He's got a great position. 30 seconds to go. Kraft's able to fight out of that. 26 seconds to go. Whistle again. Nosebleed. They're going to have to stop the match to plug up that runny nose. Yeah. This is an exciting match, both both of these young men at 115 pounds Kraft. Just a freshman. Zachariah's with much more experience on the young man. At least I think he does. You know, at this light weight, I can't tell whether they're both freshmen or Zachariah's may have a look at one. Zachariah's a junior. Okay. Freshman, you know. Most of the time, if you've got two good wrestlers, that's kind of a mismatch. Yeah. This is one tough freshman. I've watched him wrestle throughout the season, Pat. There isn't any quit in this young man. We have 20 seconds to go in the third and final period. Unless, of course, there's a tie. Yeah. Which we will have a wrestle off. First one to score wins. So, I'm assuming you're on the bottom as they continue to clean up the match. Kraft is on top by 1.12 to 11. Quick thank you for Dan Whiting and Whiting's food. 613 Beach Street, Santa Cruz, down by the Boardwalk for their great sponsorship of this telecast. As we watch him get ready to go. Also, Polar Bear Ice Cream and Mary Young from the neutral position. The clock is going. Kraft trying to not get himself in trouble. Kraft is going to be careful. He just got called for stalling. The match is now tied up. 13. Kraft takes Zachariah down. No point scored. Zachariah now has pass in 3-2-1. What are we going to do? It is over. Aptos comes out on top. The score on the board says 17-4. Aptos 13-4. For Jed Papp in San Lorenzo Valley. What a great 6 minutes of wrestling. That was a standing ovation right there. I'll tell you. For both of those wrestlers. A huge contingent from Aptos. The Aptos wrestling team has not left. They're all over there and they went nuts. So Jed Papp got out on top of this found himself. Maybe tired. Maybe also that nosebleed was bothering but that last 26 seconds Zacharias the junior showed his experiences. He was able to out point his opponent. 17-13. It comes to 1-22s. Scott's Valley. Michael Sandoval. He is in the green anklet. And in the red anklet Ramon. Zacharias in the red anklet. Starting first of the 2-minute bouts. Both dark uniforms. Aptos of course has the block A. Ramon quickly goes to the ankle crab and gets control. Gains 2 points. Ramon Zacharias is 11th grader and Michael Sandoval from Scott's Valley. I don't know what year he is. They don't have it down there for him. But Sandoval is 15-10 on the season and Ramon Zacharias is 28-9. So big difference there in the amount of matches 1. Nothing much going on right now. 1-12 to go. Zacharias on top by 2 points. Sandoval on the bottom right now. Trying to work his way out as best he can. Again, Zacharias with the red anklet. He's almost able to step out of it. Sandoval but he gets out of bounds for 57 seconds to go here in the first round. Sandoval going to be in the down position. Hands have to be on one of the lines or the heel of your hands and your knees on the other one. There's the whistle. Sandoval almost steps out of it. Great ankle ride by Zacharias. Got that near ankle ride, take him down that far ankle ride I should say and break down the near arm and grab that far ankle and push him down the mat. Sorry, I was fouled up on that last match. I had the brothers, the Zacharias boys in different weight classes. I had the wrong one. I kept calling Gio. I kept calling him Ramon. Working for the tilt there. That double wrist ride and trying to turn him with that tilt. 4 points for Ramon, Zacharias and Sandoval wrestling in the dark and the headgear is now down around his eyes but you can wrestle in the dark. All you have to do is feel where your opponent is and react from there. 9 seconds to go. Zacharias riding right on the top of Sandoval trying to get him over. Zacharias on top, 6 to nothing as we come to the end of the first 2 minutes. He works that arm real well to try that double wrist ride and pulls him over for the cheap tilt and rolling his hips and bringing him into that position into a scoring position for the near fall. Going to go from a neutral position another 2 minutes ready to go. Both trying to go for the head. Sandoval going for a little bit of a shot but not there. Pat, when you're trying to go for that takedown or for the ankle what are you looking for for making that shot? Well the thing is you don't you want to make sure that when you do it you're in a control position. You're not too far extended. You're not too far extended. You're just in the right position. Now right there he tried a high crotch high crotch move and the defender did not react properly to the shot and ended up getting takedown. Then he took a hard cross face on that when Zacharias moved up on top of him Sandoval took a hard cross facing. You get a couple of those and you think what are they doing to me here? Getting pounded on Zacharias trying to roll Sandoval over. He may be too far over the top of Sandoval because Sandoval was able to roll back over on his stomach right on the edge of the map but still very much in play. He's got that near leg hook and he's trying to lift. Kind of like a reverse. He's scoring nearfall points there almost. The referee started his count but he didn't get in 2. If you get a count of 2 it's a 2 point nearfall 5 and it's a 3 point nearfall. 51 seconds to go here in the second period of wrestling. 8 for the Abtas Mariner Ramon Zacharias Michael Sandoval from Scots Valley tried to get out of that one and almost looked like a somersault attempt. He's on the bottom and in trouble. He tried to do a run out but he didn't clear his feet. If you don't clear your feet that's not going to work for you but a lot of times you can do that. You can get a shoulder roll out and you can get out of there but I think Zacharias has too much experience to let that happen. He's got both arms right behind Sandoval's back at this time inside 30 seconds to go. Look at that ride. He's got the double arm bars looking to hook the head so he'll turn. There it is. Now he'll be bigger fours ahead but he's not going to do that. Sandoval is in trouble. Sandoval is pinned. Zacharias winning on a pin. Only 8.6 seconds left when he pinned him. So three matches in the books Aftos is the victor in all three. Two of those are via the pin. I'd also like to thank Kathy Wiley and Desperacy Seti Chocolate Dessert Sauses Winchester Auto Parts in Scotts Valley. Terry Heschert if you need some auto parts for your car van, truck, whatever you need go to Winchester Auto Parts in Scotts Valley. 214A Mount Herman Road in Scotts Valley. Also from Cafe El Palomar on 2222 East Cliff Drive. Coming up Sonny Torres from Soquel in the Blue Singlet against Kevin Eddington from San Lorenzo Valley. Excuse me, Scotts Valley in the red anklet, Eddington in the red anklet. Tor is right now on top in the green anklet in the blue singlet. Kevin Eddington from Scotts Valley is a two time league champion already at 105 pounds in 2011 and 2012. Sonny Torres was a champion last year at 130 and he was third in 2012 so he's actually well he's actually in the same weight class as he was last year so Eddington has moved up from 105 and 105 up to 130 pounds he's growing, he's in a growing spurt. He's hit that one. Sonny Torres with two points so far on it and now he is in control of Eddington sitting right on top just forcing that neck down to the forehead down to the mat. Sonny Torres I don't know if he might have been hurt this season or not but his current record is three and four and he's a senior I would think his record, we may not be getting his full record, I don't know how many tournaments they went to or not this year because the program was nearly dropped with the lack of having a coach and one of the wrestler's dads came forward and took that position as the coach now Torres trying to maintain control Eddington almost out, almost out he came out of there, he tried to pull the rock over from the top, there he goes he gets another leg, he's going to get in control right now Torres is still in control not now, Eddington rolling over on his back there's your reversal in two points that point, yep Eddington kept working on that finally got it, persistence pays off in wrestling, it sure does Eddington is 19 and 10 on the year and he's ranked 16th in the CCS so we leave the first two minutes of wrestling heading in for the second period two, two, so we are still all knotted up at the 128 pound class one thing about as I read the information on Eddington you know, he's wrestling in the freestyle Greco Roman at the state tournament and all that stuff so he's really staying with it Sonny Torres gets a far ankle grab but he loses that one Sonny really working hard, Eddington has his work cut out for him he's trying to lift that leg and step through so he can jerk him over but he can't quite get Eddington's leg up and get a real deep step through and then you reach back and hook the arm and take him over to his back Torres is a good rider Eddington caught him with that roll Eddington if he's getting self turned he's got to do it, 136 to go he's got him in trouble now Torres is pinned Eddington pins Torres at 133 into the second period and that's Eddington's third championship as a high school wrestler he's got three different weight classes No, he was 105 the first two years, 130 this year so he he's really dedicated himself Coming in now 134 William Accia from Harbor High School one of the better wrestlers that I know of here in the county and he's going to go against Miguel Barranco from Aptos High School and while we wait for those to they had a couple of these wrestlers to go thanks to K.P.

Here we go This might be the classiest guy we have in our league right here, Willy Lomonsha he's 31 and 7 on the area, second ranked in the CCS if he does get hurt or something disastrous doesn't happen to him he's going to be on to the state championship this year he's an all-around guy, he likes to surf likes to watch football and TV and he likes food, I can't I don't know why a wrestler nice single, beautiful single move by Lomonsha there got all the right positioning on it take up on that knee trying to set him down there is danger getting out of bounds that he is out of bounds? Not quite he got his foot out of bounds there was unable to keep his toes in he'll come back to the center, start again with 1-10 remaining Lomonsha is a real technician too I've seen him several times this season and the guy really knows that Matt, you know one of the guys has grown up he's been a champion, a two-time champion in the league he was a 119 pound champion in 2011 and 132 pound champion last year in 2012. He is not letting go of Baranko's wrist he's got that on a vice grip he's working that 2-on-1 wrist ride that's a tough one the Europeans used to use that a lot there he goes for the take down Baranko gets out of bounds but there's two points in favor of Lomonsha Lomonsha was able to keep his toes in that time and score the take down Pat I'm watching I'm watching Willie he loves wrestling he's got a grin on his if you can have a grin while you're busy he's smiling Baranko is 16 and 13 on the year he's an 11th grader from Aptos and he wants to attend Stanford University after he's done with high school Lomonsha's got a nice little arm bar back there both of them are going out of bounds still 2-0 in favor of Lomonsha of Harbour he is in the green singlet with the green ankle Miguel getting to get out Lomonsha's quick on those hands you tie up those ankles there's not a lot of movement in there at the end of the first two minutes Lomonsha's on top 2-0 flip of the coin Willie goes in the down position unusual no he probably has he knows that he can get up out of there he's good on the bottom does a great job here you see him he's trying to keep his leg to the outside keep the pressure on his opponent right here he hooked that leg until he breaks the hand now he's got a one point escape 3-0 in favor of Lomonsha in favor of Lomonsha Barranco takes goes a shot but I like how Lomonsha now just has his upper body right on top of Barranco just taking it to the man that was a nice move there with it pulls the head down that goes across to that far leg just sets him right on his rear end he's going to go up on his feet I think he's going to win the takedown game here now 5-0 in favor of Lomonsha minute and a half to go here in the second round Barranco I'm just impressed with the hand and arm strength of Lomonsha I mean he gets his grips on you he's not going to let go and he's so quick with that high crotch right there now he pulls him in a little bit boom he's got that high crotch once he gets him down here can transfer his arm to two legs like he did there he's got the takedown now he's got his leg almost deep enough in there where he can do that turk over but he can't quite do it and he lost it again and he'll probably go up on his feet again he'll probably play takedown with him Miguel doing a nice job of scrambling to the out of bounds to save his bacon on that one because it looked like Lomonsha really had him this is going to be a moment time 50 seconds to go here in the second round I'm credited with the commission the hall of favor Pat Lovell well thank you Pat it's always fun to do these wrestling matches with you I look forward to it every year I'm glad we could do it this year last year community TV had that new truck and was able to do it this year with a little different thing some of the wrestling families raised the money to bring the TV people in this year which I thought was a great thing and it's a great experience for the kids to see themselves on TV there's Lomonsha on that single transfers to a double lift him now can he safely get him back to the mat? Yeah, step through now he's got the leg hooked deep now he should be able to turn him either keep it on his chin there or hook the arm on top 11-3 and the count is on Miguel is in trouble he's trying to bridge his way out of it roll back onto his stomach able to survive to go for another minute 14 for Lomonsha and 3 points for Barranco from Aptos yeah we'll see a tech fall here Kurt you know if Lomonsha is up by 15 the match is over and I think Barranco what he was just trying to do there was set up the double arm throw but it did work there Lomonsha get on that outside single they come to the iranian here push pull you see he'll come around and hook the leg watch him pop his head out and he's going to score here and Barranco now is in a bad position if he doesn't turn Lomonsha is able to get 2 points on that one but not giving up any part of control will he get back on top of him and get a pin Barranco is really fighting hard to get out of that one okay tech fall ahead of his opponent by more than 15 final score 19 for Willy Lomonsha from Harbor High School and he's going to go on to the CCS I'm assuming state great match and great technical skills he had there he has some great workout partners and he's doing a great great job again as Pat had said many of these parents came together to get the money together so this TV program could be on CTV one of it is performance food services also known as ledgers at 1047 17th Avenue in Santa Cruz have it in your knees for food services plates, foods they deliver it you can see their trucks out there on the road all the time throughout Santa Cruz in Monterey County here we go for the 140s Miller Clark and Nick Reyes Miller Clark with the red singlet on in the block A from Aptos Reyes from Scott's Valley both of them in the dark but Reyes has the green anklet on Miller Clark he is a determined quick wrestler the Texas tornado great bear hug there takes him right down those are the kind of transfers you love to get Clark quickly on top two to nothing Miller Clark transferred in from Texas he was on the national team the kid is a terrific athlete you can see how powerful he's built he's going for a nice tilt here pulls him right across his waist he's very powerful, very quick on his feet, you watch him on his feet he's like a ballerina two more points for Clark up 4-0 basically he just let Nick out he's going to play takedowns with him now you watch the quickness that he has here Clark is 22-7 on the year ranked 6th in the CCS and Nick Reyes is 13-13 he's only a 9th grader but you've got a 10th grader in Clark who's wrestled extensively he's been had a lot of matches that's what in any sport makes you better, the more you do it the better you're going to be 6-1 in favor of Clark from Aptos over Reyes from Scott's Valley and you can see Clark he's got that good control of the right arm by Reyes and just riding him trying to hook that leg now he decides well I'll just slowly walk around and try and turn him over now he's working the arm bar on the far side now he's lost it again he'll trap that left arm if he can you watch him or his right arm and he'll go to the tilt position he likes to get that cheap tilt trap that arm against the body and then take it right over for the near fall I'm watching as Miller Clark wrestles he has the confidence, the patience to actually look up at the clock and see where the time is on this thing I don't know if he's and I think that's a high school wrestler Clark picks up Reyes, returns him to the mat picks up two more points and Reyes is in trouble now great shot on the single and the thing that Reyes didn't do there Reyes didn't react when he hit the mat he should have turned immediately to his stomach rather than staying in that position because he ended up losing a couple more points on a near fall there Miller looks over at his coach Reggie Roberts for some instructions he's on top of the 1 with 120 to go here in the second period of wrestling Clark definitely in control just riding his opponent 115 to go 115 to go Clark again on top and in control now grabs the wrist and is going to you see that roll through again double wrist riding he's got him in near fall it's at your right, right now we might see another we might see another technical fall here there's a couple more points and then just a nice easy escape 13 to 2 Reyes gets a point for an escape he's got the classic stance too Kurt you know you can tell that he's very experienced just by the way his body language is and how he takes those quick quick little moves to offset his opponent he's just loosey-goosey but just as quick as a cat quickly back in control if he gets a near fall here it will be all over 15 points 25 seconds to go here in the second period of wrestling here at the 140 pound weight class again I'm Kurt Edwards with Pat Lovell CTV Sports happy to bring you the SCCAO wrestling championship 2012-2013 from San Lorenzo Valley high school just riding him 5 seconds to go in the second period Clark is in absolute new I think he was looking to end it there but Reyes is putting up a real good fight he's not just about to roll over for you he's going to be somebody to be reckoned with in the next couple of years I'll tell you I think the personality of the wrestlers my opinion Pat is there's not really any quit or give up in any of you guys in any of the levels unless you're the WCW then they just go in the corner and quit third period Clark from Aptos in control quickly gets two points on a reversal and there's your technical technical fall so Miller from Clark Miller, Miller Clark I'll get it it's a tough one we have first or last name yeah that's right you're going to get it right from Aptos with the technical fall 17-2 victory over Nick Reyes moving to the 147 pound weight class Mike Kraft from San Lorenzo Valley and from Scots Valley Christian Leonetti not going to waste any time here we go Michael Kraft is ranked fifth in the CCS and he's 30 and 7 on the season if he wins this tonight it'll be his fourth league championship and not many guys can say they were a four-time league champion when I was at James Lake High School I had one by the name of Jim Plunkett he was a pretty fair football player too Kraft with a nice trip Vanny's of Kraft has is he so tall for this weight class I was going to say length helps yeah oh boy does it ever so he was able to step across and trip Leonetti down there Leonetti of course you know is a ninth grader and here you're rushing a possible four-time league champion Kraft's going to put him right over with that arm bar he's got him in trouble so and he'll keep he'll keep working he's he's another kid that can be reckoned with I'm pretty sure that he's got the capabilities Kraft does to go to the state tournament this year oh there he is Leonetti gets Kraft's roles Leonetti on his shoulders and we have a pin for Michael Kraft with 54 seconds left to go in the first two minutes of this particular bout very good very good technique on that you know on that stack and stuff he did that arm bar and then stack him up like that you know that's that was a very good technically both of these guys you know I know it broke your heart or as an arrow goes through your heart as your code in the Santa Cruz Santa with Julie Jags with the wrestling for the the IOC possibly disbanding wrestling for the 2020 which I think is pretty dumb I know that college wrestling will stay do you see any of these young wrestlers are going to be able to continue after this one some of these seniors well you know Kurt the whole thing as you know like at any sport if you're a major league baseball player look how many years guys play in the minors before they get anywhere and look at guys like now we have the Santa Cruz Warriors those guys playing in the D League we're all trying to make the big time taxi squad for the NFL guys and stuff it's the same thing here you know a kid has a dream you got a dream high you got to be able to face adversity and everything else you know to get to that pinnacle and the thing is you know it like it's like shooting an arrow into your heart for wrestling because you know we don't have we don't have guys that make millions of dollars as wrestlers and and that type of stuff so let's get back to this Brian Bautisto is twenty and nine on the season fourth ranked in the CCS I know he's had a little bit of injury problem so I don't know but he's also a real goer here he'll keep shooting at you he doesn't waste any time Bautisto in the green singlet and prayers excuse me Doug Pryor's is in the dark uniform the red Bautisto nice double leg take down he's got him in good position if he can hook the leg there there he goes now Pyser was smart enough to turn away on that not keep trying to fight it because you notice the position he was in if Bautisto moves right up into him he can put him right on his back Pyser is nineteen and twelve in the season he's a tenth grader and Bautisto is a junior now this is interesting predicament they both are now he's got that arm bar down through the crotch here and he's going to take him by that take him by that roll through but it didn't work because he lost the arm now he can take him either way on this you can take him toward himself or he can dive across and pull him over that way but you got to make sure you have the arm tight that's the key with twelve seconds to go Bautisto in command and he's on top two to nothing Doug Pyser of Scots Valley again Bautisto in the green singlet is going to walk out of the first two minutes of wrestling with the lead of two points to zero you see Bautisto's got that wrist pretty heavily taped up so he's had some problems with that wrist he coached by Brendan Gwyn and Marshall Houston the harbor coaches nice reversal on that he was fourth at the web loss and first at the Bill Martel seventh the coach classic third at the midcals and second at Overfelt those are some pretty good tournaments to place that high Doug Pyser is he's honorable mention in CCS as a sophomore that's pretty darn good and his coach is the courser Jared Norman Fred Cortez Waseem Lefty Ken Kennegaard Mike Parrish and Barry Marjoram plus a cast of many more 4-1 is the score and that is to Bautisto they've got a few coaches Aptos has a plethora of coaches as does Scots Valley they really promote wrestling they probably work with their football coaches a great deal to recruit some of the football players that's one of the sticking points I hate to say it but some of the football coaches will tell the kids to go in the weight room and they they think that that's a do-all end-all it is not wrestling will make you so much better football player it's unbelievable and until some of realize that wrestling is always fighting an uphill battle Whistle out of bounds with 47 seconds to go in the second period Bautisto on top of Pyser 6-2-1 Bautisto on top on this one nice little cross-chess quick move Pyser gets out of it she tried that little foot sweep on him as he came up he was trying to clip him over but he's pretty quick you know he get that front head arm position he gets around there real quick now he's got the cradle he's going to try and take him with a near side cradle here if he can lock that tight there's another one you can go either way take him back or roll him across one or the other but he couldn't quite hold it Doug able to escape for a while 12 seconds to go here in the second period of wrestling Bautisto really cranking trying to get his weight on top of Pyser and it's out of bounds with one second to go that's a good time to go out of bounds huh that means you got to walk back twice yeah yep too quick Doug Pyser was first at the Ed Farrell Invitational second at the Joe Camiller classic and consolation champion at the Albany Invitational seventh in the Don De Dust Tournament Don De Dust Tournament Don De Dust Tournament that just sounds ominous just by its own title sounds scary here we go starting the third two minute period Bautisto on top eight to two Pyser trying to figure out how to escape again but then get into control and Bautisto's not having anything Pyser does now I was going to say he got out but the referee says nope he didn't get out cleanly yep too is too quick they didn't break break long enough Bautisto both wrestlers nope not quite because as Pat said feet have to be out of bounds shoulder who cares now there's a nice little ankle ride looks like he's trying to twist it off you see how he's turning them right here has to turn his shoulders so they the shoulders do not go over the line if the one shoulder is on the mat the other mat shoulder goes over the line you don't count you have to be both shoulders have to be within the circle still eight to two a minute twenty to go in the third period Bautisto right now in control and in command I say right now Pat because I've seen wrestling matches turn at the snap of a finger oh yeah you make one mistake and it can really cost you big time sixty seconds to go for Bautisto to come away with a victory here and probably advance on to the CCS tournament he's got his vine in on the far side here hook that cradle up here but Bautisto is giving him a good fight here Bautisto also one of those long lanky wrestlers when he's trying to stay spread out Bautisto just riding him right now thirty three seconds to go Bautisto still trying he still has control of that wrist yeah he's riding he's got a real tough ride on him here when you got your arm down through your crotch and your head crammed down down to your chest it's pretty hard to move not the easiest way to crawl almost kicks out with Bautisto now has him in trouble he got caught in that front sitout and Bautisto was able to pull him right back in back down and score near fall on him two more points and that's going to be it so Bautisto for Harbour wrestlers a good solid six minutes comes out a winner ten to two over Doug at Scotts Valley and that was another good six minutes of wrestling nice technical wrestling that time very good I think Bautisto probably didn't go full speed it didn't look like he with that wrist I think it might be having some trouble with that wrist going on the 162 Austin Verdugo from Aptos and Andy Ramirez with the Maroon I guess Jersey and the Red Singlet from Scotts Valley Verdugo is three in Owen League and Ramirez is one in Owen League this season in dual meets so Andy Ramirez must have came out later something because he doesn't have have much of a record Austin Verdugo is seven these are two soft moors so they're going to see each other for a couple more years if they don't change weight classes I have a feeling they're just going to go right up the ladder with each other they look like they have a similar build oh nice nice beautiful beautiful double leg position on that Verdugo got him in the good double leg and then just started looked like it was a single man sled drill on that one just drove him right out of bounds yeah he had a nice single one again Verdugo trying to get Ramirez back into that not going to do it we're seeing some great action out there right now I tell you you know it's a fun thing, there's a lot of action, no score Ramirez with the shot Verdugo says no back up on their feet we've got all of the scribes here Glenn Cravens from the register Pajaroni to my right Jim Seamus across the map Ramirez with a little bit of an escape runs away and it still no scoring we're inside a minute to go yeah they're taking some good shots out there but everything is ending up out of bounds there he goes again finally a stalling warning against Ramirez for backing up it looks like Verdugo has taken most of the shot again we're in the one, I'm sorry we're in the 162 pound class and even the shots up you've got to take some of yourself Verdugo definitely looks like the aggressor Ramirez I thought might have had him a little bit get with that head position but Verdugo gets out of it inside 20 seconds to go both wrestlers Verdugo is sort of anxious to really mix it up Ramirez doesn't seem so there he's got finally nice move back down to his back nice 5-point move double right to his back that's the way to go so Austin Verdugo waits to get inside 10 seconds does a brilliant move gets Ramirez up in the air planting back down Verdugo up 5-0 here comes our second 2 minutes of wrestling and he probably took 5 or 6 7 shots you know and Ramirez was not able to get one off very well he's quick I'll tell you very quick another take down just on a spin around Verdugo's got him picks up 2 more points 2 more points 7-0 I love that little cross face where the wrestler fires a forearm right through your upper pallet and those bleed special uh-oh Ramirez trying to get out now he's got Verdugo in a headlock rolls him over in trouble Verdugo picks up a couple more points 9-0 that was a nice roll through on the headlock you know Ramirez threw that thing pretty nice but he was a little bit too parallel so Verdugo was able to roll right on through Ramirez gets one point for Verdugo letting him go basically folks you think wrestling is not tiring you go out there and go get out like a lizard drinking for 2 minutes and get somebody an actual total of 6 minutes and see if you're not winning when you're done with this Verdugo is really working that double leg very well and his follow up too when he comes up he waits just a little bit to see what the reaction is his opponent if he lets him stay there he'll crank him right to his back now he's working on the cradle now we'll see if he's going to roll through or is he going to take him back for 18 seconds to do it Ramirez does a nice little spin around Ramirez in the trouble oh that was nice beautiful roll on that beautiful roll to put him right on his back Austin Verdugo out of Aptos pins and he Ramirez with 10.8 seconds to go in the second period he had him on points and was definitely in control but you're right that was a very sweet move that was nice look like he was in real trouble he was going to lose control and just kept right on rolling real quick we want to thank Kathy Wiley of Desperately Seeking Chocolate Dessert Sauses you can find him on the web at DSChocolate.com Harado from San Lorenzo Valley in the red singlet and Mitch Gearing Aptos in the dark singlet and Harado finds himself in trouble real quick Harado tried to take down got a little bit off balance but nice yeah here he goes he gets him over it could be in trouble Gearing from Aptos finds himself on his back not a good spot 2-2 is the score right now minute to 30 but Harado in command what are you going to do now you're on the bottom which you've never been before what you need to do you need to bump up drop your body down and try and get one of your arms through between you and your opponent and turn that's the only thing you can do and pray I'd be on the second part I'd be doing a lot of praying Harado picks up some more points he's on top by 3-5-2 with a minute and 10 to go Ken Paddle Street he goes over to the scores booth don't know what he's talking about but also a quick shout out thank you to KP Construction and Ken Palace Streaming the owner of KP Construction for any construction need give Ken a call you can find him on the web and in the white or yellow pages here we go with a minute to go Harado ripping up Gearing and now on top of him inside a minute just riding impact he's trying to push right there he's trying to work that half in on him turn him here got to get out to the side there he's cranking it can he get him Gearing tries to get out of it he caught him in the headlock Harado in the headlock keep rolling it at this point we've got both legs tilted over is that poor balance on Harado's part he stayed too parallel with him that's why he was able to forgearing to roll over on top of him he's reaching back he shouldn't be reaching back because he's strong enough to come out and face you forward he's going to switch us now if he trips there step through and trips but he's going to horse him over and he gets him out of bounds with .4 seconds to go Harado on top 10-4 that was a nice little exchange as you said Pat Harado found himself a little bit too parallel but it was a good move by Gearing to get the escape and get the points .4 this ought to be whistle and whistle yeah these guys are a couple of bangers aren't they got a fun watching them roll around here and Michael Gearing from Aptos is 16 and 10 he was first at the harbor second at Fremont and fifth at the Wilcox and he's a sophomore Gearing's a sophomore and Harado is a senior nice move by Gearing got Harado in trouble Harado is on top and not anymore with 1 minute 39 seconds to go in the second period Gearing from Aptos with the pin wow what a change of fortune that was a nice move very nice move and I remember telling you don't blink in wrestling because their fortunes can change at any time real quick here we want to we want to congratulate the scotch valley girls team this year they had just a tremendous year there were the CCS champions and girls wrestling there were first at the Baylor bash there was second at Caster Valley second at the Peninsula Invitational third at the queen of the mat third at the queen of the mat and 14th at the azix tournament in Napa the four girls that are going to the state meter Lisa Pitt Domino Parish Shelby Baker and Abigail long long gay Lopez gay I'm sorry so congratulations those girls and good luck to you all in the state tournament their coaches Ken Kettigard and Jared Norman just the great guys and congratulations to you girls here we go we are in the 184 they're both in the dark jerseys but we've got Baldwin from scotch valley he is in the booklet as we get a quick little whistle there for a time for a momentary timeout so they're going to look at the sheaves headgear and Nick tomorrow from Aptos Barretters are well represented in the finals holy cow it's like Aptos against the world the thing about Nick tomorrow I give him a lot of credit he is a great football player receiver on the football team I think in defensive back and he he came out for wrestling as a kid Reggie is impressed so many kids that they want to be part of his part of his wrestling group and so he's comes out as a senior he's six and six on the season and it's his first year in wrestling the sheave you know is a is an exchange student I think from Russia somewhere like that and he is 19 and 13 on the season and he's ranked 8 yes so he he's having a great great season and I remember him from last year a real I would say not a total novice but he's great made great strides in improving one of the wrestlers who is not here Carl Johnson from SLV was injured during one of the dual meets so he's not able to show his hardware to her wrestling skills tonight and the sheaves he's got a leg up right now on tomorrow I mean literally a leg up yeah wouldn't let go of that leg he's cranking that half now in control trying to walk him over trying to lift him over trying to trap that far arm bury that half and trap that far arm he could take him right over because you have nothing else fun that has got to be one of the more uncomfortable positions I've ever seen anybody in tomorrow's dad was a long time football official in high school and college here in Santa Cruz former Cabrillo Seahawk he years ago when the NFL went on strike he was one of the replacement officials and he was a great one until the old knees gave out he'll seem to get in the way of a lot of good athletes you know what, the sheaves still work in six seconds to go in the first period he has a two-point lead on the moral from Aptos force it to the mat and then turn it on those big pause when you wake up in the morning with a stiff neck you'll know why that's true the drills that these wrestlers go through just to strengthen their neck shoulders and their upper bodies weight training is a big part of wrestling starts a second period of wrestling both parties are up looks like now it's sort of the old fashion boxing match we got a time out nosebleed they kind of get the sparring like that with their hands they don't really strike any blows with each other because they would be disqualified that's what it looks like it looks like a couple of boxers bare-knuckle boxers back in my day yeah, bare-knuckle or you can be that old alright, my age times three two actually would be closer you taught at James Lick, my first teaching assignment was also at James Lick over in south San Jose east San Jose for me it was always kind of south but east San Jose I didn't have anybody famous that I got to work with you had Plunkett, that's pretty good Jim Plunkett, Dan Lloyd both outstanding I had many of them Albert Nanez, wrestling for me Heavyweight was a NorCal champion and won eight tournaments his senior year that's before we had they counted everything that you did we had 60-70 matches now and we had kids that had 60-70 matches during the season holy cow so times have changed, okay here we go we're back at it again we have Damoro and Dashiv here going after each other Damoro got his hips in a little too close good call by the referees or they were going to be in your front pocket trying to get a little trying to get a little bear hug on each other here Damoro who? another quick chill changing of the head gear while we get the opportunity I'd like to thank Dan Whiting and Whiting Foods 613 Beach Avenue down there in Santa Cruz and Steve Robitero of Performance Foods also ledgered at 1447 17th Avenue in Santa Cruz for their generous donation to make this broadcast possible the cheese with the shot makes it, leg has got him if he was still wrestling that would be a great position very quick on that single he was very quick Dashiv was very very quick on that single he had a beautiful shot but he didn't follow through into a double he kind of worked back to the single position where he should have kept going and worked into a double leg situation still two to nothing in favor of Balden Dashiv in Scotts Valley Damoro from Abtas there he goes again beautiful position that little back pedal I don't know if Damoro is trying to get out but are you consciously trying to back pedal to get out of the circle I think that the motion is just taking him that way but Dashiv needs to do what needs to lift him lift him up not crawling your knees and lifting you need to power him up in the air to get him off his base Dashiv comes in and as I said we are at 184 Dashiv is about six foot two that's a long way up another nice little shot double leg Damoro looked like he was going to throw a head lock the only thing is he forgot the head Dashiv is 31 seconds to go trying to crank Damoro over Dashiv picks up two more points he's up four to nothing I'll tell you Damoro for a senior first year wrestler showing a lot of heart I'll tell you that heart is kind of what describes the Reggie Roberts and the Abtas wrestlers wrestling program a lot of pride in that program 10 seconds to go got that arm are trying to walk him over she's trying to walk him over three seconds to go can he do it Damoro doing a great job of fighting it off Dashiv picks up two more points after two periods of wrestling he is on top four to nothing getting ready for the third period he's going to be on the bottom Damoro on the top both since they have the dark singlets Damoro has the red anklet nice little escape now that time what Damoro did he did what we call the optional start we just place your hands on the back of your opponent you don't you don't get down the par tear position one arm around the waist now Damoro was trying to set up look at the head lock he's trying to step in and do a throw to Dashiv but Dashiv I think is too smart to let him see that he's trying to work that head lock but Dashiv won't let him in there both of these wrestlers just button heads literally folks forehead to forehead Damoro didn't step quite far enough with that got caught on his back here on his side best thing when you miss that is to let go and get to your base and then start all over again Dashiv's doing a good job of riding looks like he's getting from this angle which I can't see a thing a double wrist right he's got a single arm bar arm bar on this side and a wrist ride on the other and he ride it right out of bounds either way Damoro was not doing a thing seven to zero in favor of Dashiv's from Scott's Valley Nick Damoro

time I saw Kurt wrestle thank you very much for coming I win this has got to be one of the most outstanding looking freshmen I've ever seen in this league this guy is put together I'll tell you like he looks like he's a very mature 14 year old young man if he comes at you in a fight get him on your side folks he quickly has Mackenzie in trouble tries to get run around behind him Mackenzie fighting for all he's worth he's working on that front head and arm trying to get him down then he'll try and spin behind him Colin Mackenzie from Harbor he's 11 11 and 26 on the season I don't think that I think it's 11 and 6 on the season I hope so he wants to become a doctor we're happy about that he's here in Santa Cruz we don't have enough as it is good luck to that young man Lambert from SLV he's got two points and now he's got Mackenzie in trouble see how he elevates with his leg he pulls his shoulders over and then elevates with his legs to get that hip position on him Lambert from SLV again on top trying to keep control of that wrist you can see him cranking it back behind Mackenzie's back he's got that arm bar back there Mackenzie trying to spin out Lambert says no no no no not on my watch two more points for Lambert here we go three seconds to go in the first period Lambert comes out of the first period on top four to nothing he is a good physical specimen yeah Lambert he's into knitting and synchronized swimming and so that's how he gets the body on him like he does builds his muscles with that knitting knit one purl two knitting with 300 pound presses going along on the side into the second round Mackenzie still finds himself not in control Lambert Kurt from SLV just riding it out yeah he's got him tied up down there he can't do very much if you really want to turn him you got to get out to the side you know get out to the side and crank him he's just hanging on to that two on one I imagine a referee is going to call somebody here for stalling because there's not much action Mackenzie's getting his headpiece the straps anyways down around his eyes so as we saw a couple wrestlers ago we were just wrestling in the dark Kurt trying to roll Mackenzie over almost did it Mackenzie trying to fight back it's back over on front got a couple points on that on that cheap tilt again he was able to crank him over and elevate him I like the way the officials work in these matches Pat yeah these guys are three of the best officials not only in northern California but the whole state they work multiple multiple state tournaments nice nice single nice move there by he did a great job on that Keith Pickard who's our referee right now many many time I've worked with Keith over the years one of our most outstanding wrestlers in this area excuse me officials former judo man at San Jose State his judge here Fernando Securios from over at San Jose wrestling at Silver Creek High School just has done a tremendous job and Mike Har our third official has just been outstanding he's done more state tournaments than any other referee in our association as we come to the end of the second period of wrestling second two minutes we go San Lorenzo Valley is on top eight to one we're going to have McKenzie on top the Baron Kurt is so quick out of that one holy cow yeah that was a quick sit out and a turn in boy he was out of there in a flash wasn't he pick up some points for the escape there it is nine to one now SLV wrestler is doing a good job just measuring his opponent yeah he's certainly stocking him at this point in time you know trying to set something for him that Baron's looking he's on top nine to one we're in the third period of wrestling here at San Lorenzo Valley High School we've got that front head and arm now you watch him he'll power him down well that was an interesting corkscrew oh great secondary move on that to score the take down and we've got McKenzie in trouble and McKenzie in a pin yeah we have another freshman champion to see him probably as a four timer the pin at one oh five to go in the third period of wrestling so San Lorenzo Valley's got some very very good wrestlers yeah coming down the pipe one being Jed Jed Kraft who's just a freshman he was defeated earlier by Geo Zacharias now we're coming to we're going up in way class folks you just saw the 197 pounders here is room 222 Dakota Francis and Alex Bonsail from Aptos High School Dakota Francis from Harbor High School again both of them in the dark singlets so Alex Bonsail has the red anklet on him and Dakota Francis who is from Harbor has the green anklet on him again this should be a real good match these two had met during the season I think that Francis excuse me yeah I think that Dakota Francis beat Bonsail earlier in the year in the dual meet but these two guys are both great football players both are seniors college potential I think in football and Dakota Francis is 18 and 8 he's ranked third in CCS and Alex Bonsail is 10 and 5 he is also a very studly youth well Dakota Francis I talked to him a little bit Pat before the bout he's headed for Cabrillo well good so we're going to get some good football players from him still no score a minute to go Bonsail tried that headlock and it didn't quite work he didn't quite get his hips across you saw him lose that and the Francis came up with the you know with the takedown on that move so Dakota's just going to as we're waiting making sure everything's okay Bonsail on the bottom Dakota Francis on top yeah Bill Garrison I was talking to him the other night and you know that the big boys they have letter of intent day Bill loves letter of intent day because now he knows who he can really go after and Dakota Francis very very quick Alex Bonsail finds himself in the clutches of the big pirate from Harbor High School inside a minute to go Francis really riding the Aptos Mariner Bonsail trying to stand up Dakota Francis putting all of his weight on him and Alex is able to get out wow 2-1 that's a nice little momentum move yeah the football mentality will sit in here will probably see a lot of nice double leg tackles or something you know they try and throw these guys at this size it's pretty difficult sometimes you know but if you get them going you get the momentum going you can do it we have one more bout after we get done with these two folks and we will have seen 28 of the best wrestlers in the SECAL another great shot on the double leg takedown but no no return and flashing in front of cameras moving quicker than the speed of light it was Reggie Roberts just in case these wrestlers left the mat and hit it for the hardwood second to go we're going to hear the whistle 2-1 as we come out of the first two minutes Dakota Francis is the one on top Bonsail decides he's going to go to the neutral position so both of these wrestlers will stand up you see him give those both hands up we got a neutral neutral position there these are a couple of big horses here fighting it out I'll tell you that and they're quick they're big horses and they're quick you can watch them spin you can tell they're fine athletes Dakota Francis also once he gets done with wrestling we'll go out for the Pirates track and field team though he's fast enough to be a sprinter I don't know if he's going to get out there but he's a thrower and a putter yeah you never know about that that's such a technical sport you've got to have great coaching to pick up all the technical skills for that they're kind of just feeling each other out here again playing a little risk game here Bonsail with a nice shot on the single good call by the referee could not quite get it up there I noticed with Dakota Francis once he got that leg if he got his other hand he was pushing Bonsail's neck right up Bonsail's now three inches taller block it on the chin remember the body follows ahead so if you could push that head away the body will go with it Brendan Gwynn who is the coach for Harvard the job of teaching that technique Dakota Francis going for the double leg takedown and nothing 2 to 1 is our score in favor of Dakota Francis from Harvard High equipment malfunction flat tire again Dakota Francis with the green anklet on and Alex Bonsail with the red anklet on Alex from Harvard Dakota excuse me Alex from Aptos you know I've seen Francis work before he got a great double but what he needs to do when he fires it he's got to get his hips under and lift in order to get the guy off his balance or off his base and get him down he gets great shots but you got to follow through you got to get a lift in there after you hit it nice headlock by Dakota Francis and both wrestlers now they're out of bounds two point takedown toes in the other man had to wait on his hands out of bounds still a takedown so two more points for Dakota Francis we get a time out and again a quick little thanks for our sponsor Sandler runs the valley high school athletic booster club Todd craft and the craft family at craft family body shop 6100 Stokell Avenue KP construction Ken Palestrini he's the owner cafe El Palomar 22 East Cliff drive down in Santa Cruz great food great drinks great atmosphere go down and give him a look Winchester auto parts in in scott's valley 214 a mount herman road in scott's valley all your needs

Wiley and desperately seeking chocolate dessert sauces and we're back at it with 10 seconds to go inside the second period Dakota Francis on top and writing got that wrist right on him again taking Bonzelli holding him down there pretty well you know I'd like to congratulate our coaches tonight you know they've dressed up for this event the decorum is very good I'm very proud of the coaches of the SCAL showing up and with their coaching ties and stuff that shows a lot of class for their program and for our league here we go last couple minutes of wrestling five to one is a score in favor of Dakota Francis this may be the longest four minutes I've ever watched and we've got two more to go these wrestlers are probably getting to be tired that last minute of wrestling which is where the decision could come in just pump four heads right there there's some good head banging out there Dakota's got to fix his put his little cap on you have to have that if you have your hair is too long you just put the cap on and put your head gear over the top of it you're ready to rock and roll just talking to some of these wrestlers throughout the event great students great individuals and of course very very talented athletes most of them very very good still all this time trying to go to Francis goes for a shot Bonsail and Reggie Roberts hit the hardwood Bonsail just a little bit frustrated and I'm sure both of these wrestlers have to be frustrated because they can't really do anything they'll go for that shot but they can't quite pull the leg in and lift they're so I would say they're so evenly matched too the score doesn't show that the score shows 7-1 but they really evenly match it looks like it's strengthened and the other things that go with it so you get kind of that standoff and if they just follow through on some of your moves the score could be a lot closer as you're being a great wrestler official of wrestlers is the strength of a great wrestler starting a move but knowing what you're going to be able to do once you finish that move versus just throwing a move and saying okay that's great you've got to think of the end result of it you can't just power in there and do nothing he's cranking that half pretty good on Bonsail there Bonsail trying to get out of it he is down by 6 he escaped 1.72 inside a minute to go all Dakota has to do is wrestle intelligently they're going to battle to the end here wouldn't have it any other way their coaches would not have it any other way still right up at the head trying to find some weakness in the opponent it's been very difficult to find Pat 30 seconds to go I think Reggie got the worst of that one but I will give him credit here's one quick safety is paramount and you can see the way these coaches react he's the quickest coach I've seen tonight second one probably Ken Palestrini from San Lorenzo Valley High School both of them in quick getting over to make sure the wrestlers stay in and don't get hurt 14 seconds to go 7-2 is the score looks like he's going to win this one on points out of bounds 5.7 seconds to go have you seen a pin come this fast Pat with 5 seconds to go seen a pin go this quick the only thing you can do is throw what we used to call what you call your victory mode where you try and get a lateral drop or a headlock something that will a 5 point move or a pin if you get that far along it's pretty tough to do so Dakota Francis steps away as the SCCAO winner at the 222 pound class with a 7-3 victory over Alex Boncel of Aptos High School a rare moment for Aptos High School they didn't come out on top so now we're coming with the big boys here come the heavy of the heavyweights Alex Marquez of Aptos High School he will be with the red anklet on a dark singlet and his opponent will be Alan Moreno from Harbor he has the green slash and the green shoes and the green anklet 6 minutes of wrestling 3-2 minute periods here we go Alan Moreno from Harbor he's a 10th grader and he is a big lad for 10th grader he's got water skis for shoes yeah he's he wears a size 17 shoe and he's 8-6 8-6 on the season Alex Marquez is 12-7 on the season and he was second at the El Camino Marquez quickly gets Moreno in trouble Moreno is able to roll over but Marquez picks up 2 points there was a nice trip he took him right back brought him off balance on his side there now he's going to work those ankles probably to break him down Alex Marquez was second at the El Camino classic 2-1 at the Apple Cider Duals and he also plays football and he likes to wrestle koala bears that's hard because you have to get up the tree first to get him yeah they're nasty when you get up there folks not the easiest one to wrestle inside a minute to go here in the first quarter Marquez trying to pick up the big man and he actually does gets Moreno over on his side no points to score but Marquez definitely showing control that's a lot of weight a lot of weight to lift up I'm not sure what their true body weight is but I imagine they're in the 260 range anyway I would say they're in the 287 pound weight class that doesn't mean that they weigh 287 pounds but there's a couple of burgers on both of Marquez now gets Moreno in trouble and he gets a pin with 17 seconds to go in the first period of play Alex Marquez with the pin and the victory over the Harbour Pirate Alan Moreno and that is going to be a wrap up here at the 2012 2013 SCCAL wrestling finals and we're going to go through a quick thank you for our sponsors and I'm going to come back to Pat for his final thoughts before we say good night here for the CTV sports special again this 2012 2013 SCCAL champions have been sponsored by Dan Whiting and Whiting Food 613 Beach Street in Santa Cruz and

Hey everyone, welcome back! Today's tutorial is this high bun hairstyle. I think this is such a fun look for summer, so I really hope you enjoy today's video. If you're new to my channel, make sure to subscribe down below, and let's get started! For this style, I'm going to start by parting my hair in a deep side part, then I'm going to divide out a section of hair on the heavy side of the part near the hairline and clip down the back hair. Now I'm going to pick up a section near the part and divide it into three smaller pieces for the braid, and I'm going to start by crossing the right strand over the middle, then the left strand over the middle, then I'm going to cross the right strand over the middle, pick up a new section, and cross it over and into the middle strand, then I'm going to cross the left strand over the middle, pick up a new section, and cross it over and into the middle strand. Now I'm going to cross the right strand over the middle, but I'm going to stop adding in new sections on this side of the braid, and then I'm going to cross the left strand over the middle, pick up a new section, and cross it over and into the middle strand, and I'm just going to repeat those steps, crossing the side strands over the middle strand while adding in hair on on the left side of the braid until the braid reaches my left temple. Now I'm just going to braid the rest of the section to the bottom and tie up the end with a clear elastic band. Now I'm going to let down the hair that was clipped back and divide out a second section for the second braid, and I'm going to repeat the exact same steps and create a second lace braid, bringing in hair to the left side of the braid, working my way down to the ends and tying off the bottom with a clear elastic band. Once both braids are done, I'm going to bring the rest of my hair up into a high ponytail, adding the braids in last and tying it all together with a hair band. Then I'm going to remove the elastic bands from the ends of the braids and brush through them. And now moving on to the bun, I'm going to take small sections of the ponytail and create loops, pinning them in place with bobby pins, and I'm just going to work clockwise around my head, pinning the loops in a circle around the hair band. Then I'm going to go back and take the ends from each section and pin down the ends wherever there are gaps in the bun, and I placed a few on top of the bun just to create some dimension, and you just want to make sure as you're pinning the sections that you're checking in the mirror just so the bun stays symmetrical. And then I'm going to go back over the sections of the bun and smooth down any flyways with hairspray. I hope you enjoyed today's video.

Under the English common law, killing someone else was a special crime. It was not only removal of a resource that supported feudal privilege, but was a crime against the peaceful and productive people as well. It was handled as a public offense more than a personal offense against the dead person, nor those who relied upon that person. The person who would do such a thing was not considered fit to be among other people. The public threat was sufficient to destroy the one who killed another, or to deny them freedom to go among the common people. They would be exiled or imprisoned for so long a time that they would not be considered a public threat. The original concept of maim was a light crime. It dealt with destroying a person's usefulness to society and limiting the taxable income that supported aristocracy. It was considered maim if an injury impeded the use of the person in the military. Maim has been expanded through time to cover any mutilation or crippling of another person. It is more often addressed as an aggravated battery, a personal crime, than as a separate crime against the state. In the Americas, with the revolution removing the right of the sovereign to profit from citizens, we still have the offense against the people and the offense against the person who is killed, and all those who rely upon that person. Punishment is a challenge. With loss of vision on the sovereignty of people, we have the focus on appropriate punishment for a wrongful death. We have attempts to classify the challenge in terms of the evidence surrounding that death. Was it a mercy killing, helping someone to die? Was it aggravated wrong, one planned and executed with full knowledge of it being wrong? Was it personal or impersonal? Does it matter if the person had others relying upon the deceased, or was the criminal such a scoundrel that nobody could rely upon him or her? Was it an accidental death, one not even intended? How is anyone to codify this to assure that punishment fits the crime? The answer, of course, is that punishment is not the issue when it comes to we the people. We are the ones who are entitled to justice and peaceful pursuit of our lives and livelihoods. The question is one of serving the public and not one of application of legal sanctions upon the accused. The question is one of what service the people should receive from government actions that address the one accused of killing another person. Justice for the accused is a smokescreen and not the same as justice for we the people. The conditional rights that arise only when someone is accused are secondary to the authority granted to those who govern. The purpose of justice is set upon our leaders. The courts are clearly the arm of the government that is most directly involved in application of law to individuals rather than to the public. A court must have reasonable processes to support any actions that override the sovereignty of the accused. Legislation provides that process both by direction and by limitation. Legislation does not make it right or wrong to kill someone. The authorized public service is justice and the definition of justice is not fixed by law. Our application of jury determination is a must and the finding of legal guilt is both appropriate and necessary to overcome the sovereign right of the one who is accused. Limiting that determination to a single finding of guilt and innocence is understandable but is also likely to be inappropriate for a jury that was specifically selected as a representative body of sovereign citizens. In general, homicide is treated as a personal crime, an offense against the person whose life is taken rather than an offense against society or the nation. Punishment goes to the one convicted, and this may even include those who only aid or assist in the action of the one who kills. There remains the unanswered question of whether there is a duty owed by one citizen to come to the aid of others whose lives are in danger such that avoidance would contribute to the crime.  It is aggravated by planning the killing and taking prior actions to bring it about or to avoid the natural consequences of having engaged in this serious violation of another human. There is one addition to this for those who intentionally engage in other crimes during which someone is killed. If a person attempts to rob a bank and a guard fires a gun in his direction killing another person, the bank robber is considered as the killer. It no longer matters whether they did the killing or even that they intended that someone died. What matters is they intended to act in a serious violation of law and their intended acts were at least a partial cause of death. Their intent to do wrong is attributed to them as intent to engage in what results. The doctrine is sometimes referred to as transfer of intent. There are often different degrees of murder based on circumstances with different punishments assigned. Man slaughter is a term used for killings that do not involve intention or planning to the extent that it becomes murder. It is used for crimes of passion or accidental death. Special accommodation is often made for vehicular homicide. These are deaths where the common person has been publicly entrusted, licensed, to operate a dangerous instrumentality with no ability to kill people. We have borderline cases where we address abortions or assisted death issues. The decision to apply or not apply punishments will always raise a challenge in such matters. There is no public agreement on even the concept of the act being wrong. These areas involve human regulation, punishments sought by some over the objection of others. And laws in this arena will lack general support of we the people. Also, murder is a crime of intent and cannot be excused or defended as an exercise of public office. There can be no public authorization intent to kill a person, except officers of the law and military. Even police are subject to regular punishment for murders committed. Transfer of intent can justify prosecution of an officer who only intended to injure the party in his charge. Murder is a special crime. It usually requires judicial or grand jury directive to even issue a formal accusation. One of the more serious challenges to our application of homicide laws is seen in the purpose of legal system. The legal purposes for having laws, police, courts, and to are to establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty. This is what our government is authorized to do. Treating homicide as a personal crime makes some sense as people are the sovereigns in the United States. But the only listed purpose for personal sovereignty is justice. The victim of homicide is not in a condition to receive any justice. Nor does the judge, prosecutor, jurors, or even the accused receive some justice through prosecution and punishment. There is an historical disconnect, a failure to serve we the people through the way we address this serious crime. Removing the person from society, whether by incarceration or execution, does provide for domestic tranquility in cases where the criminal is likely to commit a light crime on being allowed back into regular contact with others. This, however, serves we the people instead of the person who was killed. It addresses a crime against society of sovereign citizens instead of any individual. Then again, we have ancillary challenges of those who suffer injury without receiving any justice. The courts go to significant effort to assure that only the accused is punished, that there is no detriment applied to the innocent family of the accused other than the removal of the criminal. What of the other family, the family of the victim, they are also innocent? Is there some sort of justice for victims who have suffered the loss? Punishment is not about restitution. It is about retribution, about appending a negative response to a criminal action. There is no agreement that this is justice other than as a historical norm, a social justice that serves some people at the expense of others. Again, it is all about the accused and not about the victims and not about we the people. It is largely accepted as there is no agreement upon any alternative action that might serve. Incarceration gives temporary service only and at great expense. Destruction of the killer does permanently remove any threat of like action from that person, but only has value if the person is an ongoing threat. The judge and prosecutor may receive personal accolades, but that is not justice either. Where the crime of maim was damaging a person's value to the state, it has been converted into a crime of damage to the person. It generally applies to any wounding that cannot be naturally healed. It is commonly applied in situations where the person needs prosthetics to continue in normal life functions due to the injury suffered or has a marked loss of capability. Maim addresses damages to the person either in what they can do or in social interaction with others. Serious disfigurement is considered as maiming. Maim as a modern crime is addressed as the most serious case of aggravated battery. It is addressed as any unwanted physical touching that results in permanent physical injuries. Maim is not appropriate where the touching is with permission, even if the harmful result was agreed to be avoided. A tattoo artist who botches a tattoo giving a permanent picture that puts the former customer in derision is not guilty of maim. Neither is a surgeon engaged in maim when his administration is in so badly that the patient loses a limb. If there was a voluntary acceptance of the acts that caused the injury, the injured person cannot expect criminal action to follow no matter what damages are incurred. The crime does not lead to prosecution of any who voluntarily take part in an action, even by fraud or misrepresentation, nor to those who take part in the unintentional maiming of a victim. A prostitute who transfers incurable disease to a client will not be prosecuted for maim, even if the disease does permanently disable the victim. There may be civil damages, but the crime of maim will not be prosecuted. Those who lack intent cannot be prosecuted for maiming. Legal minors or the insane will not be prosecuted for this crime. Again, there is no criminal action that might relieve others who are affected. No justice for victims and probably none of them for the accused. It is only for the family of the accused that is protected by criminal law applications. And as with homicide crimes, there is little service to justice, but only the potential for temporarily removing a public threat. There is also the very serious question of recidivism, a potential for former criminal to commit additional crimes after release. Preventing the return of a public threat is a matter for the government, a threat to domestic tranquility. A woman who comes home to find another woman being serviced in her marital bed has a high potential for rash actions. If she shoots and kills her wayward husband, she has become more likely to shoot other people. Is she more a threat to society than if she had not found out about the infidelity? On the other hand, a man who kills while driving drunk is known to be a continuing threat to others as drinking is addictive and driving is a learned behavior. Is he to receive a remarkably lesser punishment than the woman who shoots her husband in the passion of the moment? In the current legal U.S. system, the boundaries of sentencing are generally set by legislation and a jury of citizens is called to address such questions as appropriate punishment for the violation. The court acts as the administrative support for the jury and acts to give effect to the jury decision. It is reasonable to have this system in the sense of trusting legislators to address appropriate ranges of punishment and that has generally been accepted by the people with the understanding that we the people have not previously been educated to examine other potentials.
