Yuma made a good showing, finishing 20th in what is probably the toughest tournament in Arizona.  Top schools from 5A, 4A, 3A, and out of state (Utah, Texas) are entered in this survival of the fittest affair.
Yuma advanced 5 of their 10 entrants to the second day, which was an accomplishment.  Brock Williamson made it into the semi finals at 105 on Sat., where he reversed with under 8 seconds left to win 9-8.  Francisco Macias, Nick Johnson, Steve Martinez, and newcomer Jacob Cordova all advanced into Saturday's action.  Johnson won his first match and was then eliminated in his next match, where a win would have put him in the medal round.  Francisco Macias also lost a close one and was eliminated just prior to the medal round.  Martinez and Cordova were eliminated Saturday to end the Criminals chances in the consolations.
Williamson's match in the finals was a heartbreaker.  He got the first takedown, but then fell behind and  couldn't escape a spiral ride throughout most of the rest of the match.  Towards the end of the last period, he hit a desperation Granby and got caught on his back and gave up the fall.  Brock gave a great effort and was one of  two Yuma area wrestler's  to get into the finals, and only one of  four that placed in this tournament.
The three Yuma 5A schools were represented with Cibola finishing 12th and Kofa 22nd.
