John Mall’s Wesley Van Matre controlled the match against Del Norte’s Brett Benavides in the Championship Finals of the Colorado State High School Wrestling Tournament.  Click here for related story

 

120-2A- Miguel Sanchez , a John Mall freshman, went 0-2 at the state tournament last weekend. Sanchez showed a combative spirit wrestling against the #1 seed, Austin Crum of Holly by pin at 2:31 in the opening round. Estrada held on to his opponent only allowing two takedowns before the pin. He was eliminated from action by Austin Hackney of Dolores by pin in 1:51. This won’t be the last time we see Sanchez at a state tournament.

 

113-2A- Travis Vialpando of John Mall is a freshman who experienced his first state tournament. He went 1-2 and was eliminated from action when he went 1-2 for the weekend. Vialpando lost a 12-4 decision to Harley Workman of Norwood, sending him to the consolation rounds where he needed to continue to win his next two matches for a shot at placing. He went on to win an 8-6 decision over Michael Gutierrez (Burlington). With one win away from a placing match, Vialpando was pinned by Michael Atencio (Rye) who was the #2 seed. Atencio went to take third place. Vialpando is shown here (on right) in first round action against Harley Workman.

 

At 138 in 2A, John Mall freshman, Anthony Aldretti failed to advance to the placement rounds, going 1-2 at the state tournament. Aldretti won the first round in exciting mat action when he came from a 8-1 deficit in the second period to pin David Schipmann (Cedaredge) in a time of 4:58. He got the takedown as he surprised Shipman for the pin. Aldretti lost a disappointing quarterfinal match to Justin Traxler (Akron) in a 15-0 technical fall. Wrestling in the consolation quarterfinals and one win away from placing, Aldretti was pinned by Joaquin Martinez (Dolores Huerta) in 1:27 after falling behind 7-2. Pictured is action against Martinez

 

145-2A- John Mall’s Trystan Estrada, shown wrestling in his last state tournament was eliminated in two rounds after losing a close 6-5 first round decision to Luis Chafino (Holyoke) by the score of 6-5. Chafino opened with a take down which Estrada quickly reversed to tie the score at 2. With points being divided, Chafino, leading by a 6-4 margin allowed the escape by Estrada with 8 seconds remaining to avoid an escape which would have tied the score. In the elimination round, Estrada fell to Jace Peebles (Hotchkiss) in an 8-6 decision. Trailing 6-7, Estrada allowed an escape hoping to get a take down, but with 8 seconds left, his bid to place fell short. Shown is Estrada being taken down by Luis Chafino.

 

160-2A- Nick Griego of John Mall did not move beyond the consolation quarterfinals and was eliminated from state wrestling action, going 1-2 on the weekend. Griego had one of the fastest pins in the 2A brackets with a 30 second pin over Drake Bowman (Peyton). He then faced Jesse Burns in the quarterfinals in a closely fought battle. Griego took a 1-0 lead into the third when he forced an escape late in the second to take the narrow lead. Burns, countered in the third with an escape of his own as both men battled upright for over 4:40 minutes. The first reversal occurred when Burns from the bottom position reversed the hold. With 12 seconds, he allowed Griego an escape, avoiding a reversal of his own. Griego could not score a takedown. The loss moved him into the consolation quarterfinals where he lost a 7-2 decision to Trent Elliott of Merino.

 

285-2A- Heavyweight Dylan Crump (left) is shown here completed his third state tournament in his four year high school career. Crump went 1-2 for the tournament. He lost the opening bout to Nolan Egging (Hotchkiss) by pin in 1:25 Crump was taken off his feet early, and in the battle of the big men, it is hard to recover and get out of a pinning situation. Facing elimination, Crump faced Justin Tucker of Swink and won a 3-0 decision. Starting the second period, Crump got Tucker on his belly and worked him over, scoring three for the near pin as the period ended. The final two minutes were upright with no points being scored, giving Crump the chance to move on. However, he was eliminated by Ben McCaffrey (Ellicott), the #4 seed by pin fall in 1:15.

 

182-2A Kaleb Rehm, sophomore, from John Mall, shown wrestling in his first state tournament, struggled to gain little offense as he was pinned in both his matches. The first was against the #6 seed, William Gabriel from Nucla who won with a pin in 1:43. In his win or go home match against Esquiel Raso of Rocky Ford, the two fought tough in the first period with each scoring takedowns, reversals and escapes. With the score 6-4, Raso scored the pin over Rehm at the 1:48 mark. Look for Rehm to be a valuable asset to the JMHS tram next season.
