Wrestling: The Colony sends two to state
BY JUSTIN THOMAS, JThomas@acnpapers.com
Friday and Saturday in Austin, the top high school wrestlers in Texas took to the mat, competing in the UIL State Wrestling Tournament at the Delco Center.
And while Allen won the team championship, District 6 was also well represented, with four teams finishing in the top 20 on the boys’ side.
The Eagles took first with 136.5 points, while Flower Mound finished second (100).
In girls action, Caprock finished first (90) with Katy in second (69) and Hereford placing third (68). Coppell, meanwhile, took 20th (25).
The Colony’s Ulises Saldivar competed at 125 pounds, going 1-2, including a win in the first round of the consolation draw. Blake Mouser (145) of the Cougars also competed, losing his first match before splitting his next two.
“Both of our wrestlers were seniors and had good finishes to their careers,” said Waymon May, The Colony coach. “Overall, it was an end to a good season. Next year, we will have 10 starters returning and we are looking forward to another good season.”
In the first round, Saldivar was defeated by Azle’s Noah Killip by decision, 11-2. However, he rebounded to win his first consolation match against Pine Tree’s J.T. Smith, 3-2, before falling in the second round against Socorro’s Jonathan Sanchez.
Mouser, meanwhile, lost a hard-fought decision in the first round against Vista Ridge’s John Burns, 9-8.
Like Saldivar, Mouser won in the first round of the consolation bracket, topping Johnny Gonzalez of Franklin by decision, 18-5, before falling in his second match Frank Rivera of La Joya.
