Wrestling:

If Bonita wanted the opportunity to battle for a Palomares League championship next week, they needed a win on Wednesday night.

And they got it.

The Bearcats cruised to a 56-17 victory over their visitors from Glendora.

BHS won 10 of their 14 matches, including eight by pin fall.

Next Wednesday, Bonita will host first-place Ayala on senior night.

If BHS were to defeat AHS, it would set up a three-way share of the Palomares League championship with Walnut.

Bonita got 11 team points from the Fernandez brothers.

Jacob Fernandez earned a tech fall over Gabriel Munoz, 21-5, at 132 pounds.

His big brother, Tristan Fernandez pinned Glendora’s Alex Hom at 150 pounds.

Elias Echeveste (106), Nico Vazquez (120), Tyler Franco (126), Aidan Chaires (144), Nathan Ebel (157), Thomas Jimenez (165) and Cole Parra (190) all picked up six team points apiece for the Bearcats via pin.

Glendora’s Jackson Evans (215) and heavyweight Isaac Gomez pinned their Bonita counterparts.

Dru Pedroza (113) defeated Noah Vazquez, 18-12, and Luke Shafer (138) claimed a 3-0 victory over Lucas Legaspi for the Tartans.

Bonita’s Josh Marshall defeated Ricky Farias, 11-4, at 175 pounds.
