But they couldn't hold off similarly deep and well-supported Bell, which advanced seven wrestlers to the finals, matched San Fernando's four individual wins and came away with a 13 1/2-point victory over the runner-up Tigers. ``We've got a good program going,'' said eighth-year Bell coach Eric Klein Klein , Melanie 1882-1960.

``I got a decent guy at every weight, and they all showed up and did what they were supposed to do,'' said Kelin, whose Eagles got individual wins - and state berths - from Brian Maldonado (132 pounds), Mike Lopez (137), Marvin Lopez (191) and Javier Pompa (217). San Fernando countered with state-berth wins by Ruben Saenz (127), Michael Solis (142), Ricky Aguirre (154) and Raphael Reynolds (162), who was selected Wrester wrest tr.v. wrest·ed, wrest·ing, wrests 1.

One match later, San Fernando freshman Solis got similar hero treatment by rallying for a third-quarter pin while trailing 6-4. ``He's going to be our next four-time City champion,'' San Fernando coach Fernando Gonzalez said. ``I just dug down deep and tried my hardest and came through,'' Solis said.
