Ki-Be vs. East Valley

The Bears will be facing a tough Red
Devil team on thursday. State veterans Josh Thompson and Kyle Hopkins
will lead East Valley, which will have at least 10 juniors or seniors
in their lineup.  Possible Matchups:

103 - Ryan Corke vs. Kevin West
112 - Chris Stade vs. B.J.Wilson
119 - Sergio Avila vs. Chris Buckalew
125 - Barry Leavitt vs. Michael Saurez
130 - Richard Pourier vs. John Wilson

189 - Josh Corriel vs. Ryan Evers
215 - Eliseo Llerenas vs. Luis Escamilla or Adrian Lepe
275 - Kevin Hunter vs. Jay Bandle or James Brown

Key matchups will be Corke vs. West, Wight vs. Coleman, DelAngel vs.
Hopkins, McCullough vs. Flowers, Llerenas vs. Escamilla or Lepe and
Hunter vs Bandle or Brown. If the Bears can win 5 of these 6 then
they will have a good shot at picking up their first dual win of the
season.

Sergio is coming off of a 1st place finish at the Connell Invite and
should take care of business against Buckalew.  The match of the
night will probably be Corke against Thompson.  Josh Thompson placed
4th at state last year and is a strong candidate for a state title
this year. Jesse DeLaPena is coming off of a 3rd place finish at the
Connell Invite and the Bears will need a big win from him on thursday.
