Wrestling

Boulder City High School wrestling might have finished eighth out of eight teams at their annual BC Duals on Dec. 7, but took away some positives from their outing.

“I thought the BC Duals went well,” head coach Clinton Garvin said. “We invited a lot of the top teams to give us some great competition. We had some wins, some losses, at the end of the day we’re going to learn from this experience and work on getting better.”

Shining for the Eagles, Otis Ruth finished the day with a perfect 4-0, while Coen Burrows and Ryan Francis each finished 2-2.

Tre Adams and Erick Garza each finished 1-3.

“A lot of kids showed heart,” Garvin said. “Even in our loses, we gained knowledge on how to have winnable matches in the future. We’re going to learn from this and get back to work in practice.”

Defeating Del Sol 41-27 in a weekday dual on Dec. 5, Burrows, Francis, Garza, Otis and Nathaniel Lewis all picked up pin-fall victories.

Looking to sharpen their skills, the Eagles will travel to California this weekend for the La Costa Canyon Hamada Invitational on Friday.
