Etiwanda all but wrapped up a third consecutive Baseline League championship.

In a battle of unbeatens (in league), the Eagles dominated Los Osos, 60-9, on Tuesday night.

Etiwanda won the first nine matches, and they would go 12-2 in the 14-match dual.

Max Diaz (106), Julian Santana (113) and Ryan Khan (120) got EHS out to an 18-0 team lead with consecutive pins.

Andrew Garcia (126) edged Jay Lee, 4-3, and 132-pound Jacob Bell claimed a 19-2 tech fall victory.

Austin McSwain (138) extended the Eagles lead to 30-0 with his 13-2 major.

Santiago Luera (145) and Maddox Lozano (152) both picked up victories via pin fall, and 160-pound Evan Manzo won via forfeit.

After nine consecutive wins, Los Osos’ 170-pound Mario Gallegos got the Grizzlies on the board with his pin at 5:48.

Michael Whitney (182) edged Etiwanda’s Gaje Morris, 5-2, to pull within 54-9 of EHS.

But the Eagles would win the final three matches of the night.

Caleb Smith grinded out a 7-1 victory at 195 pounds, and Moses Vaita (220) claimed a 3-2 decision victory.

To close out the night, 15-year-old sophomore, Galen Brown, stuck his opponent in sudden death to set off a celebration amongst his teammates.

Etiwanda needs a victory over Damien next Tuesday to clinch its third consecutive outright Baseline League championship.
