by San Manuel Miners
The San Manuel wrestling team showed up at Apache Junction High School with only six wrestlers for a four-way dual on Friday, Jan. 6, and came away with a 2 – 1 record with five of its six wrestlers finishing undefeated.
Eight forfeited matches against Apache Junction prohibited the Miners from going 3 – 0.
The Miners defeated Notre Dame Prep (25 – 10) and Coronado (31 – 12) at the meet.
Julian Rodriguez, Ezra Miller, Franky Renteria, Colbey Stratton, and Ruben Hernandez were all a perfect 3 – 0, which included victories against the Prospectors’ wrestlers.
