High school boys wrestling: Windsor easily dispatches Casa Grande

Windsor's boys wrestling team started what could be a big week for the Jaguars by defeating Casa Grande 60-18 in an NBL match Thursday night in Petaluma.

The wrestlers came with packed bags and took off for Sacramento after the match. Today and Saturday, they'll be competing in the Tim Brown Memorial Tournament.

“We're taking 11 wrestlers,” coach Rich Carnation said. “This is always one of the most competitive tournaments in Northern California.”

Perez Perez and Anthony Spallino warmed up for the Sacramento tournament with easy victories Thursday.

Perez defeated Matt Beck, 6-1, in the 152-pound division while Spallino (195) took a 10-1 major decision over Nick Jensen.

“I felt I was in control for the most part,” sophomore Perez said. “I had two take downs and a reversal. It was a good match to get in before Sacramento.”

Spallino was disappointed he couldn't end his match with a pin.

“I started out strong and tired my opponent out,” he said. “I had four takedowns but just couldn't quite pin him.”

Kameron Chase and Jacob Voight also wrestled to victories. Chase (220 pounds) pinned Aiden Henry in 4:36 while Voight (285) pinned Bailey Meza in 49 seconds.

Casa Grande forfeited nine matches and Windsor didn't have a wrestler for one match.

“We feel we'll do pretty well in Sacramento,” Carnation said. “Dominic DuCharme and Beau Columbini both won their divisions there last year and both will get high seeds.”

Windsor, the defending NBL champ, is off to a 3-0 start this season.

UKIAH 66, SANTA ROSA 12

At Santa Rosa, the Wildcats improved to 3-0 while the Panthers dropped to 0-3.

There were several highlights for Santa Rosa, as freshmen Tyler Condron and Sam Guzman both won their first varsity match.

Condron, wrestling at 113 pounds, pinned Chase Loucks in 1:36 while Sam Guzman (145) needed only 21 seconds to end his match with Ethan Sanford.

Guzman was aggressive from the opening seconds and quickly got Sanford in a headlock. That was followed by a takedown and then a pin.

Condron had a double take down in his match before the referee counted Louks out.

Jay Tiedemann is in his first year as Santa Rosa's head coach after serving on the staff the three previous years.

“I'm excited about the future,” he said. “We don't have any seniors on the team. The young wrestlers are just going to keep on improving with match experience and practice.”

The Panthers are also benefiting from the instruction being given by assistant coach Kurt Schieber.

“He's an integral part of the program,” Tiedemann said of the Santa Rosa High alum. “We're going to have growing pains, but we'll be more competitive as these guys get more experience.”

The Panthers had more success in the girls' match. That ended 24-24.

With the win, the Panthers are 1-0-1 while the Wildcats are 2-0-1. Ukiah is annually one of the top teams in the North Coast Section.

Liz Guzman (116 pounds) gave the Panthers momentum, as she pinned Ayled Zacueta in 37 seconds.

Dana Johnson (143) then pinned Jessica Stanley in 1:12. Last season, Johnson lost to Stanley.

Also, freshman Shaylin Mattson-Cairati remained unbeaten in dual meets by pinning Clarissa Rieger in 4:33.

MARIA CARRILLO 51, RANCHO COTATE 14

At Maria Carrillo, the Pumas boys team won their third match without a loss.

“We're wrestling pretty well as a team,” coach Tim Bruce said. “It's been good to see.”

One of the bright spots for Carrillo has been Kai Addington (120). He followed up his victory in the recent Granada Tournament by pinning Logan Moody in 3:46.

“He hasn't had a point scored on him in six matches,” Bruce pointed out.

Heavyweight Alexis Becerra was also impressive, beating Daniel Martinez 17-2.
