Cougars Keep Rollin' at Doc Buchanan

With an impressive performance last weekend, the Cougars won the 33rd Annual Doc Buchanan Invitational at Clovis High School. With all of the state's Top 5 teams present, the team used 10 place winners and 2 finalists to score 211 points, enough for first place and 48 more than 2nd place Bakersfield. Tommy Burriel continued his outstanding season, pinning #4 in the state Fito Juarez (Central) at 1:40 into the first period, giving him his first cowboy hat. Zach Nevills was the other Clovis finalist, able to upset state #1 Martin Fabbian of Buchanan in the semifinals before falling in the finals. 8 other Cougars were able to make the awards stand in the toughest Doc Buchanan tournament ever.
