| | | Bryce Pummer holds John Ellery in pin position while the referee watches to make sure the pin sticks. And it did - one of 5 pins Miramonte earned in the match compared to Acalanes' 2 pins. Still, the match win went to Acalanes, 33-30, thanks to several Miramonte forfeits. Having graduated a number of senior wrestlers last season, the Mats are in a rebuilding mode.

Acalanes senior Conor O’Herin goes for the pin against his Miramonte opponent. On beating the Mats by forfeits, Acalanes wrestling coach Bob Chance explained that part of wrestling is having a full line up: “Last week we lost to Las Lomas by 5 points, but we had forfeited 5 weight classes. In that match, we actually won 7 of the 8 matches wrestled. This was the first time since I have been coaching (7 years) that Acalanes has defeated Miramonte in wrestling. So, as far as that goes, we were very happy with the result, regardless of forfeits.”
