Competition Week 1 - Dec 4th

The Cougars kick of the 2010-2011 wrestling season this weekend with a pair of varsity tournaments.

The Grizz at Central HS

The Cougars will square off against the best from the North Yosemite League (NYL) in McLane, Hoover, Roosevelt, Fresno, and Madera South in this 'home and away' format, where the NYL makes up the 'home' side. You can follow the dual results LIVE here on Saturday.

Warm Ups & Singlets Handed Out

Attn Parents:

Warms ups, Singlets & Travel Bags were handed out yesterday. For any new parents, please wash the Warm ups and Singlets in cold water and hang to dry. These were very expensive uniforms and want them to last as long as possible. Your son was "assigned" this gear and is expected to be returned at the end of the season. This includes the personal singlets as well, except for seniors who will keep the personal singlets.

Just a FYI... SAVE THE DATE - Doc B is January 7th & 8th and parent help is needed! If you need to schedule vacation (like me) might want to do now.

Looking forward to a great season with our wrestling family!!

Clovis Nationally Ranked (again)

Clovis High School shows up in all the major pre-season polls for the national rankings.

The Open Mat (with write-up)
19. Clovis, CA
Final ’09-’10 Ranking: #12

Strength: Duals and Shallow Tournaments

Key Losses:
Tommy Burriel, 189

Key Additions:
Andy Ia, 103
Nick Nevills, HWT (Freshman)

Overview:
Perennially competitive, Clovis will trot out another line-up almost devoid of holes as they return 8 state qualifiers. They don’t quite have the top-flight guys to upend in-state foes Bakersfield or Selma in deep tournaments, but with their balance, they’re undeniably one of the Cali’s best dual squads. The ended last season at #12, and while SRU Burriel will be a big loss, their drop to 20th has less to do with him, than it does the emergence of some new programs hitting their strides. Clovis will be good, like always.

Key Starters:

* 112 So. Jonas Gaytan (SQ)
* 119 Jr. Daniel Gaytan (SP)
* 130 Sr. Juan Salas (SQ)
* 135 Jr. Devin Everk (SQ)
* 140 Sr. Brady Bersano (SQ)
* 152 Sr. Blake Thompson (SQ)
* 160 So. Adrian Salas
* 171 #6 Jr. Zach Nevills (SRU)
* 215 Sr. Taylor Ferguson (SQ)
* HWT Fr. Nick Nevills
