2025-2026 Varsity Results​
Week 1 Results
​We brought 22 boys to the Rocklin Dual Meet Tournament (14 weight classes). Although we didn't have 4 starters in our line up, we still had 22 varsity level kids to the tournament who rotated matches. Every wrestler got a match. We were put in a pool and went 3-0 in our pool with wins over Nevada Union, Placer, and Thomas Downey High Schools. Then we were placed in the Gold Bracket with the other teams who also went 3-0 in their pools. We lost a very close dual that was back and forth and then we faced off against Golden Valley from Merced, who won this tournament last year. This dual went back and forth and then we pulled away and got the win by winning the last 5 matches in a row. Our team got 3rd place out of 16 teams! Very proud of every person who competed today. We have a TON of upside and it is exciting that our team did so well despite us not being at our best, yet.

The Girls competed at the Rio Linda "Knightmare Classic" and had a great day. Every girl besides Myleigh Litsas, Aoloani Gaspar, and Sadie Keough were wrestling in their first every high school wrestling tournament. I'm very proud of every girl who wrestled - it takes a TON of courage to step on that line and compete. Cat Amador got 5th place, Kenzie Simpson and Reese Kneeland both finished in 3rd place. If you don't know, both of these girls are dual sport winter athletes who are also playing on our girls varsity soccer teams. These girls are doing wrestling practice, the soccer practice, playing in soccer games, and competing in wrestling tournaments - super tough and very impressive. They are also first year wrestlers who just finished in 3rd place at their first varsity wrestling tournament. Aolani Gaspar wrestled fantastic and finished in 2nd place. Sadie Keough also wrestled amazing and finished as a tournament champion! This is Sadie's first ever tournament title. Coach Keough told me that he was very impressed with the tenacity and wrestling of every single girl today. Our JV boys also took home a TON of medals today. Great weekend for BV wrestling.
Varsity Scrimmage at Oakdale
We took 12 kids down to Oakdale High School for a varsity scrimmage against some very tough competition. The following schools were there: BV, Oakdale, Turlock, Aptos, Granada, Del Oro, and Clovis. 3 of those schools are in the top 25 in state and Clovis is top 5 in state. All of our boys battled so tough and wrestled so well. Truly, an awesome way to start our season. We simulated real matches with referees and everything. The highlight of the day came when Elias Castaneda (11) wrestled a kid from Clovis in his first match who got 4th at state as a freshman, was a state finalist last season, and who already committed to Illinois University - a D1 Big Ten school. Elias was winning 11-0 and then pinned the kid. Although this was "only" a scrimmage, I promise you that both kids were doing their absolute best and that the other kid was battling to the best of his ability during that match. I'm very proud of every single kid that competed and the best part of this scrimmage is that our team has tremendous upside to what we can do and I know that we are just getting started. I love this team!
