The way Garcia saw it, backing down wasn't an option in the Southern Section Division IV 189-pound championship Saturday at Santa Margarita High. And like Garcia had done twice before during the regular season, he handled Southern convincingly, this time 8-1 to take first place. ``Other guys might be intimidated when a wrestler is so aggressive,'' said Garcia (41-3, 24 pins), who won his second consecutive Division IV title. ``But when guys do that, they make mistakes, and I capitalized.'' Southern was charged penalty points for an illegal chin hold and unnecessary roughness. Garcia was momentarily stunned by a head butt late in the second period, but Garcia was at his best in the third and final stanza, scoring his last takedown Takedown 1.

Southern (39-7, 31 pins) was spent and frustrated. ``Ralph's just a tough wrestler. He's better than me,'' Southern said. ``I'm always rough, but he counters everything I do.'' Camarillo 103-pounder Jake Nishimura was the region's only other wrestler to reach the finals, losing 6-2 to Serrano junior Jerry Singh. Nishimura (31-9), a junior who entered the season with no varsity experience, wasn't expected to make an impact. But his road to the final included four victories over two days, including a second-period pin over Bishop Amat's Bryan Carpintero in Saturday's semifinal. However, Singh (36-3) was lankier and took advantage of better angles in the final. ``It's hard to wrestle a tall guy,'' Nishimura said. ``He was a good wrestler, and I couldn't get my shots. But I'm not disappointed about losing the match because I did a lot better than I expected.'' Camarillo coach Ron Wilson said others might have been surprised by Nishimura's emergence, but Wilson wasn't. ``He surprised some people, but we knew Jake would do well,'' Wilson said. ``He beat some pretty tough competition.'' Camarillo's Danny Valencia (119) and Rio Mesa's Caleb Bautista (125) and Chris Davis (189) also qualified for Masters by finishing in the top four. Valencia took third by defeating Ben De Los Reyes of St. John Bosco by injury default. Bautista came in fourth after a 6-3 loss to Lakewood's Marco Lara. Davis defeated Mike Aguirre of Sultana for third. |
