BOYS’ WRESTLING 1994-1995: WRESTLING PREVIEW : Six Teams to Watch : CALVARY CHAPEL
- Share via
Coach: John Azevedo (sixth year).
1993-94: 17-0, 3-0 in the Olympic League; won its second consecutive State championship and in the process set a record for team points. Qualified eight wrestlers to the state tournament, where Shane Valdez (112), Ed Mosley (152) and Josh Holiday (145) won titles.
Key returners: Mike Aquirre, Sr., 171; Joe Calavitta, So., 125; Josh Holiday, Sr., 152; Ed Mosley, Sr., 160.
Key newcomers: Danny Robinson, Sr., 145; Matt Van Hook, Sr., 189.
Outlook: Despite the loss of wrestling twins Shane and Dane Valdez, the Eagles are ranked No. 1 in the state in the Wrestler Assn.’s preseason poll. Though not popular among public schools because of their ability to recruit--Aquirre is a recent transfer from Victor Valley High--Azevedo and his “Church Boyz” pay no mind to the talk. Though not as strong as last season’s team in the lower weights, the Eagles are seemingly unbeatable in the middle- and upper-weight classes. Barring any injuries, watch for Holiday, and maybe Mosley, to repeat as state champions.
