Orestimba's Mikey Santos grapples with George Renault of Sonora during the TVL Individual Playoffs hosted at Hughson High School earlier in February.

SAN ANDREAS, Calif – Three members of the Orestimba High wrestling team competed at the next level of postseason.

After finishing in the top five of the Trans-Valley League Tournament on Feb. 8, the Warriors competed at the CIF Sac-Joaquin Section Division V Boys Wrestling Tournament at Calaveras High School on Feb. 14-15.

But their quest to reach the section’s Masters Tournament, which took place in Stockton over the weekend, ended in the foothills for the Warriors.

Two Warriors in Mikey Santos (146-pounds) and Richie Ebert (192) advanced to the second day of the D-V tournament. But lost two matches to be eliminated from the tournament.

Another Orestimba grappler in Seth Blair (122) competed in the division tournament.
