Granite Bay youth rules Rumble in the Jungle VI
By Delton Lowery
LoweryDigitalPhoto.com
TURLOCK -- There was a lot of green at Saturday's high school wrestling tournament.
It was, after all, called the Rumble in the Jungle.
Of course there was Pitman-Turlock's green and silver. The Pride was the host to 28 schools.
There also were Grace Davis-Modesto's green, Hilmar's green, Sonora's green, Liberty-Madera Ranchos' green and even the green letters on the silver singlets for Manteca.
But the most dominant green of the day was Granite Bay's. Call it Grizzlies Green.
The Grizzlies powered their way to the Rumble in the Jungle VI title with 200.5 points, 24 clear of runner-up Golden Valley-Merced.
Grizzlies Green also was manifested in Granite Bay's roster, which sports only two seniors. The Grizzles had two individual champions, but they were freshman Johnny Cooley and sophomore Gavin Andrews.
They might be green, a little wet behind the ears if you will, but they're no slouches on the mat.
Cooley, unseeded in the 135-pound bracket, opened with a pin of Turlock's Gerardo Garza in 5:32; then a pin of Sierra-Manteca's Austin Soto, seeded third, in 5:16; then a 14-10 decision against Golden Valley's Javier Luque, seeded second; before finishing it off with a wild 18-17 victory against San Leandro's Abel Robles, seeded fourth, in the championship match.
Andrews, seeded third in the 285-pound bracket, breezed to the finals with pins in 2:45, 1:55 and 3:49 before locking up with top-seeded Dakota Smith of Yosemite-Oakhurst in the final. There, Andrews and Smith were knotted at 2-2 through three rounds and Andrews took Smith down in the 1-minute overtime period for a 4-2 decision to cap Granite Bay's performance.
"It's a really young group, only two seniors in the lineup," said Granite Bay coach Mike Lynch, who has coached the team since the school opened in 1996. "We've got a really good bunch of kids, they work hard, have good chemistry and they're doing well."
And, they're improving.
With just two seniors and three juniors to go with a whopping five sophomores, three freshman and a hole at 140s, Granite Bay was able to make amends for an earlier runner-up finish.
"We got second at the Grizzly Invitational," Lynch said. "Golden Valley won our tournament."
The Cougars tried their best to win the Rumble, too, with Ben Weber earning the 112-pound title, and Austin Bondi (119s) and Antonio Guizar (140s) taking second place.
Granite Bay also had two runners-up, sophomore Adam Wagner (145s) and senior Carson Schmidley (152s), both of which lost to No. 1 seeds.
Third through fifth was close with Turlock taking third with 129.5 points, Grace Davis fourth with 121.5 and Pitman fifth with 117.5.
The Rumble in the Jungle also gave teams an opportunity to put out its junior varsity wrestlers in four novice divisions.
Grace Davis finished first in the JV standings with Golden Valley finishing second.
FINAL TEAM STANDINGS
1. Granite Bay 200.5; 2. Golden Valley-Merced 176.5; 3. Turlock 129.5; 4. Grace Davis-Modesto 121.5; 5. Pitman-Turlock 117.5; 6. San Leandro 92.5; 7. Hilmar 82.5; 8. Sonora 73.0; 9. Beyer 72.5; 10. Yosemite-Oakhurst 71.0

Vacaville makes some noise at Mid Cals
By Delton Lowery
LoweryDigitalPhoto.com
GILROY -- Vacaville won the two-day Mid Cals wrestling tournament Saturday, riding three individual champions to a resounding victory that might get the rest of the state to take note of the Bulldogs.
"This is where we take off," Vacaville co-head coach Clint Birch said. "I think we've been underrated all year."
And if the Bulldogs have been underrated -- they're ranked 10th in the state by thecaliforniawrestler.com -- the same might as well be said for Tyler Johnson after what he did this weekend.
Johnson, ranked No. 5 at 145 pounds, earned a stunning 12-8 victory in the 152-pound final against Cody Rodebaugh, the defending state champion and top-ranked 145-pounder from San Lorenzo Valley-Felton.
"Tyler beat a defending state champion," Birch said, "but that doesn't mean he's the state champ."
The Bulldogs don't think they're the state champs either, but they have had what it takes to rise to that level, winning the 2007 CIF State Championships.
"We've been there, we know what it takes and we'll do whatever it takes to get there again," Birch said. "Clovis and Poway are right there but the 'Dogs want the trophy, too."
Adam Delagarza (189s) and Ben Holmes (215s) also won individual championships for Vacaville.
Tournament host Gilroy finished second with 249 points. The Mustangs were led by individual champions Jesse Delgado (125s), Willie Fox (130s), Blake Kastl (135s) and Dominic Kastl (150s). Luis Barragan made it five Gilroy wrestlers in the finals, but he lost 3-1 in the 285-pound finals to Orry Elor of College Park-Pleasant Hill.
Madera South scored 188.5 points to edge Selma (187 points) for third. Pitman-Turlock rounded out the top five with 179 points.
FINAL TEAM STANDINGS
1. Vacaville 336.5; 2. Gilroy 249.0; 3. Madera South 188.5; 4. Selma 187.0; 5. Pitman-Turlock 179.0; 6. Oak Grove-San Jose 169.5; 7. Kingsburg 164.5; 8. Turlock 160.0; 9. Cupertino 155.0; 10. Overfelt-San Jose 154.5
