With all this excitement there were also some firsts. In the 126 weight class Freshman Spencer Serra got his first Tech Fall. A Tech Fall is when you gain 15 points on your opponent and they call the match. This is a big deal for anyone, it proves you actually know what you are doing. This was especially uplifting for Serra after his 9-14 season.
With 72 points West was close to what they call a perfect match. A perfect match is when all 13 weight classes get 6 team points during their match ending with a total of 78 points. This win allows West to attend the playoffs this weekend at Jacksonville High School.
