| The SJS grapplers came through in Spartan fashion this past weekend as they took two out of three matches from
southland foes in closing their PCAA season. |
| |
| UC Santa Barbara and Los Angeles State fell victim to the Spartan matmen on Thursday and Saturday, respectively.
In between their victories over the Gauchos (34-12) and the Diablos (42-6), SJS suffered a defeat at the hands
of the San Diego Aztecs, 27-15. |
| |
| "We had a pretty good trip down south, especially against LA State as we won all of our matches except one,"
said coach Terry Kerr. |
| |
| Two grapplers escaped the three-match weekend undefeated. Pete Murchison (177) and Tim Kerr (158) took all three
of their struggles by decisions. |
| |
| Gary Peterson (150) won two matches, both by pins. His victories came over UCSB and LA State opponents. |
| |
| Dan Cabral (118), Oscar Trevino (134), Jim Lucas (142), Dean Prescott (167), and Charlie Kyle (190) all captured
two wins over the weekend. |
| |
| The Spartans, who finished 3-6-1 in overall competition, fell victim to small but costly errors in technique against
SDS. |
| |
| "One of the most exciting matches of the weekend was the individual matchup between our heavyweight Don Jackson
6-2, 230 and SDS's Tuffy Avil 6-7, 320. Unfortunately, Jackson lost this match with small errors in technique,
but he should rebound in the PCAA finals this weekend, Feb. 26 to take the number one spot," analyzed Kerr. |
| |
| Jackson, a sophomore, and Avil, a junior , were both offensive linemen for their respective gridiron squads this
past fall. |
