MIDDLETOWN, Calif. – On Saturday, Jan. 9, at the Dennis Jensen Invitational, Clear Lake Cardinal wrestler Isaac Lewis came in as the sixth seed and fought his way up to the finals match. 

On his way, Lewis – who wrestles in the 152-pound class – would knock off the No. 3 seed by a first round pin and the No. 2 seed by third round pin, in a come-from-behind battle.
