We went out there and wrestled extremely aggressively.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the 106-pound match, Bears sophomore Brandon Ward pinned Kristen Yazzi in the first period.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBrandon went out and rode the legs really well,\u201d Garand said. \u201cHe took what they gave him and didn\u2019t force anything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At 126 pounds, Bears junior Tristan Medina pinned Sheridan Staley, and at 132 pounds, Logan Fuller pinned Tyler Howe in just 10 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTristan went out and went to work,\u201d said Garand. \u201cHe wrestled really well. Logan set the benchmark for this year with his 10-second pin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Senior Guy Wallace pinned Jawaun Charles in the 145-pound match, and Austin Hackney, Riley Syra and Kellen Gatzke won by forfeit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGuy was super-aggressive. He\u2019s getting focused and gearing toward regionals and state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Newcomb\u2019s only victories of the dual came after Dolores was forced to forfeit the 138-pound and 160-pound matches.<\/p>\n<p>Next up for Dolores will be the Sun Devil Tournament, which will take place in Page, Ariz., Jan. 23-24.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLast year, we had a lot of success in Page. We\u2019re bringing seven guys to the tournament, and I could see six of the seven making the podium. We\u2019re pretty excited about it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ward, Medina, Fuller and Wallace register pin victories<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":115108,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6362],"tags":[188],"naviga_topic":[],"class_list":["post-115107","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ds-sports","tag-dolores-star"],"acf":[],"author_name":"dh_admin","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115107","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115107"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115107\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/115108"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115107"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115107"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115107"},{"taxonomy":"naviga_topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/naviga_topic?post=115107"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
