ALAMOSA – The second-ranked Alamosa High School boys wrestling team won two dual meets, and the 10th-ranked girls team had one dual meet win Thursday at the AHS gym.

Alamosa also won the next two matches by fall. Uriah Martinez pinned Gidone Cervantes in 2:53 at 126, and Salazar pinned Calvin Carter in 1:47 at 132 to give the Mean Moose a 30-0 lead.

The Huskies got on the board in the 138-pound match as Gabriel Sullivan won by a 7-4 decision over Quintana.

Woodward then recorded a fall over Anthony Hall in 57 seconds at 150.

The Alamosa boys will end the regular season on Saturday as they will travel to Pagosa Springs for the Intermountain League cross-over match. The dual meet begins at 10 a.m.

“Pagosa has a full team and they’re tough in half the weights,” Johnson said. “They’re tough in a couple of places where we’re tough, so it’s going to be a really good dual.”

The girls team concluded the regular season on Friday at the Walsenburg Invitational.

The regional tournaments are next week. The Alamosa boys will be at the Class 3A Region 4 Tournament at Pueblo Centennial, and the girls are at the Class 4A Region 3 Tournament at Canon City.

Other regional tournaments involving local schools include Centauri going to the Class 3A Region 3 Tournament at Parachute, the Antonito, Center, Del Norte, Sargent and Sierra Grande/Centennial boys going to the Class 2A Region Tournament at Walsenburg, the Monte Vista boys at the Class 2A Region 2 Tournament at Ignacio, and the Antonito, Del Norte and Monte Vista girls at the Class 4A Region 1 Tournament at La Junta.
