The Acalanes wrestling team won a decisive 48-10 dual meet victory over Dougherty Valley's 7-man varsity squad on Thursday, January 30, on the Wildcat's San Roman campus.
Acalanes junior Robert Royster is pictured using a head and arm lock to go for the winning pin in the 217-pound weight class against Dougherty Valley's Gilbert.
Four other Acalanes wrestlers also won matches by pin - Matt Feld (at 127 pounds), Conor O'Herin (154), Chris Scanlin (191) and Mike Rule (287).
Dougherty Valley opened in 2007 and has yet to have a senior class. Its growing program made a good showing at the meet, winning two of the seven matches actual wrestled, one by pin and one by decision.
Three weeks remain of regular season dual meets and then it's on to the DFAL championships held this year at Campolindo on February 21.
