Tough Day 2 for Inland Valley wrestlers

For the first time since 1984 and 1985, the Inland Valley has no state placers in wrestling for back-to-back years.
The two wrestlers who made it to Saturday, Cody Dixon of Colony and Giordan Porter of Rialto lost their first matches Saturday in Bakersfield.
Dixon never got anything going against Ian Roy of Poway (ranked No. 7) and lost 7-1 and was unable to become his school's first state placer.
Porter, ranked sixth, was trying to do the same thing, and he lost a heartbreaker 3-2 to second-ranked Orry Elor of Pleasant Hill College Park and was eliminated. Porter was not awarded a takedown with about 12 seconds to go (although it looked like a takedown), when the official ruled it was out of bounds.
