Edison High senior Jared Williams did not have a point scored against him in two matches on Saturday, as he captured the 152 wrestling crown of the Servite Mann Classic at Marina High.

The Manhattan Beach Mira Costa transfer jumped into the arms of his father, Rick, after defeating top-seeded Troy Madrigal of Servite 3-0 in the final.

High school roundup: In the Dec. 16 Sports section, a roundup item on the Servite Mann Classic misstated that Fountain Valley wrestler Dylan Zotea would undergo an MRI for an injury that one of his coaches said caused him to pull out of the 132-pound final. Alena Zotea said her son would not be undergoing an MRI for the injury.

“I was getting mixed emotions of excitement and joy,” Williams said. “I was just proud of myself and all the work I’ve put in. It’s all paying off.

“It’s a grind. This is one of the hardest sports in the world, and it is hard to get to where I am today. I can’t be here without my coaches, my parents, and all my teammates.”

Williams remains undefeated on the season at 12-0. He has also claimed individual titles at the Westminster Cossarek Classic and the Edison Beach Bash.

Seven locals medaled in the tournament. Fountain Valley had the most with four.

Luis Ramirez and Dylan Zotea both reached the championship in the 132 for the Barons, but Zotea forfeited the final to Ramirez due to an injury.

Also for Fountain Valley, Max Wilner earned second in the 145s, and Trenton Ching took seventh in the 160.

Marina’s John McCoy rebounded from a loss to Wilner in the main draw semifinals to capture third in the consolation final. The Vikings senior defeated Riverside Poly’s Brian Geiger by major decision 14-2.

Ocean View’s Noah Edsell also scored a major decision over Capistrano Valley’s Trent Houle in the fifth-place match of the 126s by a tally of 12-1.
