Calumpit leads EV wrestling squad

Ezra Calumpit came into Satuday's BVAL wrestling championships with high expectations for not only a win, but a high placing at next week's CCS championships. The senior cruised through the early rounds of the 162 pound weight class with a pin of San Jose High's Jose Cazerez in 1:06 and a 11-4 decision against Avinder Sahota of Silver Creek. In the final, Calumpit pulled off a clutch 12-11 victory over Overfelt's Jesus Torres to take the league title.

Senior Emmanuel Scott was in the final at 287 pounds, but was forced to take second place due to an injury default. Other Cougars who qualified for CCS include Jordan Benigno (4th place at 114 lbs) and Kevin Nguyen (6th at 217).
