Tigers Taken Down by T-Birds in Dual Match

Posted

Centralia surrendered five forfeits and wasn’t able to keep up with Tumwater, fallin 60-15, during the Tigers’ home opener in a dual match on Wednesday.

Tiger sophomore Antonio Campos, the top-ranked 120-pound wrestler in Class 2A, pushed his undefeated high-school career win streak to 31 with a second-round pin. 

“We have him work on takedowns until the last 30 seconds of the round, otherwise he’d get first-round pins,” Centralia coach Scott Phillips said.

Also picking up wins for Centralia was Christopher Isai Mendoza-Ponce at 195 pounds and Antonio Garcia at 132.

On the girls side, Centralia Willa Phillips won both her matches to go 2-0 on the night, and Jade Hudson defeated Tumwater’s 106-pound varsity wrestler.
