CBHS won something like 56-22. It was CBHS' Senior night, so they put some seniors in that aren't normal varsity. Sharp (G'town) beat Velasco 10-4. Sharp threw/fell on him about a minute into the match and got 2 takedown and 3 back. Velasco got a takedown. Sharp escaped. Velasco got a takedown or maybe reversal and the cut Sharp. Sharp got a takedown at the end. It was a good match. Velasco looked good from neutral, but he made the one mistake in the first period.

An explanation for: "Why are there only two Division II teams from the West Region when the other regions have three teams?" Several years ago, only two teams from each region were going to the state dual meet tournament. The Division II coaches realized that some very good teams were staying home and a tournament of six teams created some difficulties in scheduling. We asked TSSAA for an eight-team tournament that would address both issues. Though the west had just as many schools as the other regions, very few of them had full teams. Most could fill fewer than seven weight classes. If the tournament remains with eight teams and the west gets more teams, they may be allowed more representation and another region, probably the east, might be limited to two teams going to the state dual tournament.
