KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – The Kelseyville High School boys and girls wrestling teams participated in separate tournaments this past weekend.

Coach Adam Garcia said the boys Liberty High School Lou Borzan Invitational tournament on Dec. 22 and 23, and the Lady Knights competed in the Brittany David Girls tournament on Dec. 23 at the same school.

Competing for the boys were Michael Beverlin, 126 pounds, 1-2 record, DNP; Jacob Jensen, 132 pounds, 1-2 record, DNP; Alex Garcia, 152 pounds, 5-1 record, third place; Bryan Carrillo, 182 pounds, 3-2 record, fourth place; Javante Gregoire, 4-3 record, eighth place.

For the girls, competitors included Kylie Marlin-Ambriz, 101 pounds, 1-2 record, DNP; Korbyn Marlin-Ambriz, 106 pounds, 3-2 record, eighth place; Elisa Jaquez, 126 pounds, 3-2 record, DNP; Brianna Thomas, 126 pounds, 2-2 record, DNP; Melanie Guerrero, 143 pounds, 1-2 record, DNP.

“This was a good tournament during the Christmas break for our school,” said Garcia.

He said Bryan Carrillo got himself on a lot of NCS coaches’ radar after this weekend. Prior to this season, Carrillo had been relatively unknown to the other coaches in the section but after posting some quality wins at Green & Gold and Lou Borzan, he's definitely an opponent that teams will be preparing for, Garcia said.

Alex Garcia continued his solid season with an overall record of 13-2. Both of his losses have been semifinals matches with both being a one-point loss. The last was to Windsor High School’s Trent Silva, who beat Alex Garcia 5-4 on Saturday.

“We knew going in it was going to be a tough match as Silva is a good wrestler on a good Windsor team. We have been looking for that match since last season as they both competed in the 138 weight class but the brackets never lined up for them to square off,” Coach Garcia said.

Now that Alex Garcia and Silva have wrestled, the coach said they will be better prepared for him next time.

Coach Garcia said Javante Gregoire has been very consistent this season with his strength and mental toughness. He has placed in three of three tournaments this season.

Korbyn Marlin-Ambriz dropped her first match and battled back to the 7/8 place match before losing to a wrestler from Windsor High School to finish eighth place, Coach Garcia said.
