ALBANY, Calif. – Friday, Feb. 10, and Saturday, Feb. 11, was this year’s two day Girls North Coast Sections Championships.
The Clear Lake Cardinals entered four wrestlers into the tournament, two would make it to the second day and one would medal.
Mavis Pyorre (111 lbs.) won the sixth place medal, with three pins throughout the tournament.
Holding true to her sixth seed, Mavis finished as she was seeded, as well as putting the pressure to the fourth- and fifth-place finishers along the way.
On day one she would face off and pin the eventual eighth placer from Washington. On day two, she got caught by the third seed and eventual third place finisher from Castro Valley in the quarterfinals. Mavis would then battle back, pinning a top 12 finishing wrestler from San Leandro.
In the consolation quarter finals Mavis would meet up with the eventual 8th placer from Washington again, pinning her to move on to consolation semifinals. Here she would come up just short, in a close back and forth decision match against the fourth seed and placer, from American High.
Then, Mavis was pulled from her finals match while leading, after getting her previously injured arm caught in an awkward position, against the eventual fifth placer from Santa Rosa.
Mavis was the highest placing freshman in the division and becomes Clear Lake’s first Girl to medal as a freshman.
Kally Vinson (235 lbs.) lost a close decision match against the eventual sixth placer from Eureka and battled hard before falling against the eventual fourth placer from Alhambra.
Merari Alvarez (150 lbs.) fell against the eventual fourth placer from Ukiah and then lost to her next opponent from Rancho Cotate. After controlling the match, she broke her ankle and was out.
Mackenzie Markham (101 lbs.) fell to the eventual seventh placer from Albany and eighth placer from Irvington.
