  The mighty golden eagle wrestling team capped off their wrestling season by finishing in a tie for seventh place at the annual California High School State Championships.  The Golden Eagles were led by sophomore sensation, Stevan Knoblauch, who had an outstanding weekend ending with a second place finish.  Junior, Zach Zimmer, capped off his year with another medal as he finished in fourth place.  Also, junior, Chris Martinez, brought home some hardware as he finished what he started last year and claimed that illusive state medal with a fifth place finish.  Clovis West freshman phenom, Nikko Reyes, was one match away from placing as he lost to the champion 3-0, and to the third ranked wrestler in the state who got upset earlier in the tournament 3-1.

            Clovis West now looks to the future as they return with five state qualifiers and three state placers.  The Golden Eagles have their sight set on a school fourth state championship.
