“They are a lot stronger and a lot more experienced this year,” CHS head coach Alexcis Lara said. “We have a good group of returners and a solid freshman class.”
Freshman Raul Meza (119), freshman Alex Felix (125), sophomore Ricardo Bribriescas (130)junior Andras Kabai (135) all earned six team-points for the Cougars.
Wrestling up in weight to fill a void at 189 pounds, sophomore Josh Aguilera pinned his opponent at the 1:07 mark of the first period.
The remainder of the Cougars’ points came via forfeit.
Aguilera will be Lara’s regular at 171-pounds when John Riffle is inserted back into the lineup. Riffle, a junior, is one of three returners, including heavyweight Steven White and Tomas Zamora, transitioning from the football season and expected to make their debuts next week.
