The heavyweight took his first loss of the season, a triple-OT heartbreaker, but responded with four consecutive wins to finish in third place at the CIF State Wrestling Championships over the weekend. Lopez finished with an awesome 51-1 record.

Girls
Hayley Haagsma, Jr., Valley Christian
The midfielder willed the Crusaders into the CIF Southern Section Division V championship game. After scoring the game-winner in the quarterfinals, she netted a pair of second-half goals to rally V.C. to a 2-1 semifinal win over El Segundo
