 SJS Wrestlers Place In Hayward Tourney

 

 by Jay Goldberg

 
The SJS wrestling squad placed 5th out of 11 teams that participated in the annual Cal State Hayward Wrestling Invitational on Saturday. 
 
Pacing the Spartan representatives was sophomore heavyweight Don Jackson. Jackson won three matches to place first in his division. Oscar Trevino (134), Jim Lucas (142), and Tim Kerr (158) took third in their respective divisions. 
 
"Everyone looked good in the invitational, considering we had wrestled the previous evening," said coach Terry Kerr. 
 
On the previous evening, the Spartan grapplers dropped their home match to the Fresno State Bulldogs, 24-18, in a PCAA encounter. 
 
The turning point in the contest, which swung the momentum in favor of the Bulldogs, was Trevino's close match against Fresno's Jeff Gerry, according to Kerr. 
 
"He made a few fundamental mistakes, enough to allow Gerry to outscore him. However, Oscar came back with a strong showing in the tournament Saturday," Kerr said. 
 
Tim Kerr decisioned the PCAA's defending champion Corky Napier, 3-2. Prescott pinned the Bulldog's Bill Berg. Dan Cabral (118) won by forfeit and Jackson decisioned his opponent, Bud Ruschhaupt, to account for all of the SJS scoring.
