Troy Kenney, wrestling at 134 pounds, decisioned Pierce’s Juan Ortiz, 15-0. Trent Kenney, competing at 150 pounds, beat the Brahmas’ Steve Pimbol, 11-9.

In other wrestling action:

Cypress 31, Moorpark 21--John Torgerson, wrestling at 180 pounds, trailed Brian Bennett, 9-2, in the third period but was able to pin his opponent and lead the Chargers over the Raiders in the season opener for both at Cypress.
