The 140-pound senior needs just one more victory today to qualify for the state championships in Stockton next weekend. The way Speakman's been performing, he might just win this Masters meet, matching the Southern Section's top 24 wrestlers in 14 weight divisions. Speakman (51-5, 36 pins) fell behind 2-0 to Perez on a late takedown Takedown 1. The price at which underwriters obtain securities to be offered to the public. 2.

But then Speakman headlocked Perez, flipped him roughly to the mat and pinned his shoulders. ``I had that headlock on pretty tight and I was holding it with all that I had,'' Speakman said. ``You can never be too confident, but I think I'll make it to state.'' Coach Todd Stokes said he never lost confidence when Speakman didn't score in the first period. ``He has a way of starting slow, but he's so tough psychologically,'' Stokes said. ``He was pretty tough once he got a good grip.''

He's 41-1 and the region's only Southern Section wrestler with a chance to return to the state finals, where he was 0-2 one year ago. ``I did pretty good, but (Horneman) was aggressive on the bottom and squirrely' Rueckert said. ``But it's humid here because there's so many people, and I think he got a little tired.''
