That's when Dunn took over. The Highlanders' senior took down Hernandez with 34.5 seconds left for two points and a 7-5 win Saturday. Dunn overcame a bloody nose and a 4-1 first-period deficit of a match mostly dominated by Hernandez. ``All I thought was that I had a chance,'' Dunn said. ``I could tell he was kind of tired, so I just went for it. This was definitely the hardest (match of the tournament) by far. (Hernandez) was a big and strong guy. He was able to keep me far away, and I couldn't really get him down.'' Dunn has won tournaments in two weight categories this season. He placed first at a Newbury Park tournament wrestling wrestling, sport in which two unarmed opponents grapple with one another. The object is to secure a fall, i.e., cause the opponent to lose balance and fall to the floor, and ultimately to pin the supine opponent's shoulders to the floor, through the use of body at his usual weight of 125 pounds, but he feels comfortable at 130. ``Being able to wrestle at both weights, that's a testament to his skill,'' Royal coach Richard Carrillo said. ``(Dunn) was pushing, he was really moving on that guy, and he was trying to maintain his lead. I had a pretty good feeling that (Dunn) was going to get back.'' Shane Crosley took fourth place in the 152-pound bracket for the Highlanders, who placed 11th with 107.5 team points.
