Kicking off last week\u2019s wresting action with a road dual against Monticello on Jan. 15, the Bears won three matches, lost four matches and forfeited several others in a lopsided loss.<\/p>\n
Leading the way for the Bears with wins were freshman Brandon Ward, junior Guy Wallace and senior Ethen Upton.<\/p>\n
Falling just short of victory was Bears\u2019 senior Deano Valdez.<\/p>\n
Hoping to return to their winning ways on Jan. 17, the Bears traveled to Shiprock for a series of five duals and finished with a 3-2 record.<\/p>\n
Highlighting the Shiprock duals for the Bears were Wallace, Valdez and Upton, who each finished with 5-0 records on the day.<\/p>\n
Bears freshman Tristan Medina finished 4-1, Ward finished 3-2, and freshman Brandon Hopcia got his first varsity win.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe boys did very well. I was really happy with the results,\u201d said Bears\u2019 head coach Leo Garand.<\/p>\n
Next up for the Bears is the always-tough Sand Devil Tournament, which will be held Jan. 24-25 in Page, Ariz.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re going to see some of Utah and Arizona\u2019s best out there,\u201d said Garand. \u201cThis will be our last big test before we head into regionals.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
