The California drought has ended. We have a National Champion. 3x CIF State Champion out of Selma. Representing the Central Section.

As someone who has wrestled from California. Not a easy thing to win NCAA from that state but it has been done! Let's gooo!

These 2 were behind Spencer Lee Iowa & Brandon Courtney Arizona State who also wrestled in the NCAA Finals in 2021 ! That’s some back to back talent at 125 lbs

Everytime someone gets a takedown like at 5:20 Jordan Oliver sheds a tear

So much respect for Ayala being able to overcome Brands coaching and make it to the finals.

Ayala was influenced by the crowd. He needed to be more patient. ASU is too good at countering. Should’ve just wrestled instead of pushing the pace.
