The YVHS JV Trojan Wrestling Team hosted its annual Trojan War tournament Saturday at Trojan Gym. The fans got to see two teams of Trojans (the “Black” and the “Yellow” teams) compete against squads from Brawley, Banning, Lucerne Valley, and a compilation team. The “Black Team,” dominated when they bested Brawley by a score of 54-22. The “Yellow Team” fought hard, as well, winning against the compilation team and tying Lucerne Valley before losing on criteria.

Second place honors went to Josh Goddard, Forrest Cowley, Nick Solorio, and Martin Kennedy.
