Serra heavyweight John Beering takes down St. Francis' Zach Touissant on his way to
first-round pin during the Padres' 39-17 win over the Lancers. |
Two years ago, the Serra wrestling team was shut out by St. Francis. Fourteen matches, zero team points.
Tuesday night, the Padres all but clinched the West Catholic Athletic League dual-meet title by dominating the Lancers, 39-17.
"It means so much (to clinch a WCAL championship). I remember the first time I watched varsity, we got blown out (by St. Francis),” said Elias Hernandez, a senior, who was involved in the night's most dramatic match at 115 pounds. "We definitely wanted to go through St. Francis to do it.
"These guys are our rivals and we haven't beaten them in years.”
The Padres still have two dual meets left |
