Wrestling:
Bonita took another step forward in what they hope will end in back-to-back Palomares League titles.
It would be a first in school history.
Last year, BHS shared the league crown with Alta Loma and Ayala.
Fast forward to 2023-24, and Rob Froh’s boys just defeated Alta Loma for the first time in their six years in the Palomares League.
And they did so in dominant form, claiming a 58-15 victory.
Bonita won 11 of the 14 matches, and seven came via pin fall.
Up next: BHS travels to Ayala on Thursday, in what will be their toughest road block to a second title.
