There were 10 Moore League wrestlers competing at the CIF-Southern Section Masters Meet on Friday, and by the end of the evening, seven had been eliminated.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Lakewood’s Kimo Napohaku and Cody Gurule, and Millikan’s Nick Pena are the three Moore League wrestlers still left standing after day one.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Gurule (130), Napohaku (135) and 152-pound Pena could all secure their spot at the CIF-SS State Meet in Bakersfield next weekend with a first-match win on Saturday morning.  <\/span>All three grapplers have just one loss and even with a first-match loss, they could advance if they win two consecutive matches, so there’s two different scenarios that could see each of the three move on.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Wilson’s Josh Newman (160) and 171-pound Miguel Peralta, Poly’s Rickie Touch (119), Lakewood’s Nathan Batres (140) and Millikan’s Jake Wallace (135), Jaime Reyes (145) and 215-pound Sam Taylor were all eliminated on Friday.  <\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n

Gurule and Napohaku both battled back from early losses to set up Saturday’s golden opportunity.  <\/span>Gurule (40-7) lost his first match and then won the next three and will face Downey Calvary Chapel’s Bradford Gerl with a trip to Bakersfield on the line.  <\/span>Gerl (40-7) won his first two matches before losing his quarterfinal match and the Grizzlies senior is coming off a state appearance last year.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Napohaku (48-5) was pinned after a first-round bye, but the Lancers captain won two clutch matches and will face Arroyo Grande’s U.C. Raul, who won his first two matches, before losing in the quarterfinal round.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Pena (50-4) got his 101st career pin in the first round and then was pinned by Canyon Springs’ Bradley Johnson.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

But the Rams captain didn’t allow it to alter his mission, and after two more wins later on Friday, is just a win over Coachella Valley’s Sergio Salinas from advancing to state.<\/o:p><\/p>\n
