Cole Hodges, a senior wrestling at 152 pounds, was pinned by Matt Behren in the third period, and at 160 pounds Robert Raber lost a close match 4-6.
A few exhibition matches took place, as well, with Truckee’s Ryan Pearce pinning Jimmy Mancuso, Nick Krasensky winning by decision, Tim Curtis technical falling Cody Parker 21-5, and Bobby Waters winning an exciting quadruple overtime match over Riley Warren.
Because of a change in scheduling, Truckee will travel to Burney Falls ” instead of Tonopah ” for a tournament this weekend.
