UPDATE, 9:25 p.m.: Zach back here with you. Here are the rest of the final results, after Foothill's Angel Posadas gives Roger McCovey his first takedown of the season but eventually succumbed to the Del Norte wrestler and was pinned in 5:05.

135—Seth Hicks, Bakersfield-Centennial, dec. Conrad Snell, Poway, 7-4
140—Cody Rodebaugh, Felton-San Lorenzo Valley, pinned Javier Sanchez, Ridgeview, 2:22
145—Scott Sakaguchi, Clovis, dec. Alex Rodriguez, Fresno-Washington Union, 3-1
152—Chris Urquizo, Merced, pinned Martin Fabbian, Buchanan, 1:30
160—Patrick Martinez, Temecula Valley, dec. Stephen West, Buchanan, 2-1
171—Morgan McIntosh, Calvary Chapel, dec. Jordan Williams, El Dorado, 12-7
189—Ian Daube, Poway, pinned Nikolai Crouch, Santa Fe, 1:47
215—Nick Pica, Concord, dec. Drew Meulman, St. Francis, 10-4
HWT—Roger McCovey, Crescent City-Del Norte, pinned Angel Posadas, Foothill, 5:05

Update 8:22: 112 pounds: Jesse Delgado, Gilroy (47-1) dec. Estevan Cabanas, Moreno Valley-Canyon Springs (52-5), 6-5
Delgado built a 6-2 lead midway through the second period and then hung on for the one-point decision.  

119 pounds: David Klingsheim, Brentwoot-Liberty (38-1) maj. dec. Steven Salinas, Covina-Northview (46-1), 11-2

Klingsheim got an early takedown to grab a 2-0 first period lead and then padded his advantage with three more takedowns and an escape to record a major decision. It was the first loss of the season for Salinas.

125 pounds: Martin Gonzalez, Gilroy (39-2) dec. Brandon Rocha, Lemoore (51-5), 3-2

Gonzalez registered a takedown with 45 seconds left in the match to break a 1-1 tie. Later a second stalling call against Gonzalez cut his lead to one but the Gilroy senior was able to hold on to win his second straight state title.

130 pounds: Henry Yorba, Poway (47-4) dec. Jose Mendoza, Selma (49-4), 3-1 OT

Yorba scored a takedown 36 seconds into overtime to break a 1-1 deadlock and end the match. Yorba scored first with a second period escape but Mendoza answered with an escape of his own with 1:24 remaining in the third to send the match to extra time.

UPDATE, 7:24:103 pounds: Alex Cisneros, Selma (47-0) vs. Stevan Knoblach, Clovis West (26-5), Cisneros scored a takedown two near falls in the second period to grab an 8-0 lead before cruising to an 11-1 major decision. The win completes perfect season for the freshman.

UPDATE, 6:33 p.m.: Sitting here in the media section at Rabobank, watching the crowd file in. Pretty electric atmosphere already, and we're about 45 minutes away from the first state final. I'll update as much as I can during the finals, but I'll have plenty of daily newspaper responsibilities with three Bakersfield kids wrestling for championships. I'll do my best.

UPDATE, 3:44 p.m.: OK, so as it turns out, what's below is incorrect. The glitch they were fixing with the team scores is that Buchanan's Adrian Rodriguez at 103 pounds was awarded a forfeit in the seventh-place match. The scorers knew that would happen, so they awarded him those points before the consolation finals. And I was incorrect in that Buchanan's Kyle Papendorf did not win his third-place match. He lost to John Glenn's Jose Lopez. That means that Poway does indeed have that 4.5-point lead on Buchanan, 9.5 on Selma and 10 on Clovis. Even one finals victory for Poway might do it, considering Buchanan's Martin Fabbian is a big underdog at 152 and Selma couldn't catch the Titans with one more win. Clovis, down 10 with just one finalist, cannot win the team title. The Cougars could take second.

Finals begin at 7:15 p.m. They're building the stage for the mat right now.

Here are the updated team scores:

1. Poway 130 (3 finalists)
2. Buchanan 125.5 (2)
3. Selma 120.5 (2)
4. Clovis 120 (1)
5. Santa Ana-Calvary Chapel 70.5 (1)
6. Clovis West 69.5 (1)
Bakersfield 69.5 (0)
8. Gilroy 64 (2)
9. Lemoore 52.5 (1)
Covina-Northview 52.5 (1)

UPDATE, 3:04 p.m.: There was a problem with the internet at Rabobank here for several hours, which is why you didn't see any updates on the consolation rounds from any of the sites. We're back up and running now, just as the consolation medal matches have finished.

We don't yet have updated team scores, but Poway was up by 4.5 points on Buchanan by 9.5 points on Selma and by 10 on Clovis at the conclusion of the consolation semifinals. The Titans, though had just one wrestler in placing matches, and he lost (Nick Poliakoff at 152 pounds). Buchanan and Clovis had some half a dozen each. Last I heard, Buchanan was down just 1.5 points to Poway with heavyweight Kyle Papendorf still to wrestle in the third-place match. He won, so I think Buchanan is actually ahead. But Poway has three finalists, Buchanan and Selma two each and Clovis just one. So the team title is still up in the air. Two of the Poway finalists, 130-pounder Henry Yorba and 189-pounder Ian Daube, are No. 1 seeds (the other faces No. 1 Seth Hicks of Centennial). Buchanan has a No. 1 seed and an underdog. Selma has a No. 1 and a No.2, and Clovis has a No. 1. I'll update with team scores as soon as I get them.

103—Alex Cisneros, Selma, vs. Stevan Knoblauch, Clovis West

125—Martin Gonzalez, Gilroy, vs. Brandon Rocha, Lemoore

135—Seth Hicks, Bakersfield-Centennial, vs. Conrad Snell, Poway
140—Cody Rodebaugh, Felton-San Lorenzo Valley, vs. Javier Sanchez, Bakersfield-Ridgeview

215—Nick Pica, Concord, vs. Drew Meulman, Mountain View-St. Francis
HWT—Roger McCovey, Crescent City-Del Norte, vs. Angel Posadas, Bakersfield-Foothill

UPDATE, 12:13 p.m.: Now a big match for locals, with darkhorse Angel Posadas of Foothill, and a big match for the team standing. I talked with the San Diego Union-Tribune writer, and we figure that Buchanan needs this victory from Kyle Papendorf to stay close enough to Poway to have a chance to win a state title. Clovis is in second right now, but with just one finalist, the Cougars are eliminated. Buchanan, with a win from Papendorf, could close to within five, six, seven points of Poway. Otherwise, the Titans will have all but locked up their fourth state title, though there are still consolation points to be won.
Anyway, a scoreless first period in both heavyweight matches. Posadas gets an escape to start the second, as does Crescent City-Del Norte's Roger McCovey on the other mat against Jose Lee of Riverside-King. Posadas an aggressive move there from a tie-up, but the wrestlers go out of bounds. Now a takedown at the edge of the circle for McCovey, who hasn't lost in two years.
Now a takedown for Posadas, who spun around Papendorf at the edge of the circle! Could Bakersfield have two unranked wrestlers in the final? 3-0 Posadas after two periods, and the same score for McCovey in the other match. Papenforf and McCovey are down to start the third. Papendorf needs to make something happen here, but he's losing valuable time. 30 seconds gone, and he's still on bottom. An escape for McCovey, and he leads 4-0. Now a minute gone by on Mat 4, and it's still 3-0. Posadas is really dominating this match. Twenty-four seconds left. Papendorf finally escapes in the final seconds, but he can only dive at Posadas' legs as time runs out. Three Kern County wrestlers in the finals, and Poway has all but locked up the team title with a 13-point lead on Clovis and an 18-point lead on Buchanan. McCovey cruises in, 4-0, on the other mat.
Consolation semifinals next.

UPDATE, 12:04 p.m.: Concord's undefeated 215-pounder, Nick Pica, is in a tussle here with Austin Morehead of Sutter Union. Morehead has taken him down and reversed him and had him on his back at the end of the first period, but time ran out before he got any nearfall. It was 4-4 after one, and PIca has a takedown to start the second for a 6-4 lead. In the other semi, Mountain View-St. Francis' Drew Meulman had an early takedown for a 2-0 lead that he still holds late in the second period on Modoc's Josh Wood. An escape for Morehead, but another takedown for Pica, who is taking control at 8-5. Meulman is having trouble getting out in the second period, and Wood rides him out. 2-0 entering the third, and Wood chooses down. A two-point nearfall for Pica on the other mat, and he leads 10-5 after two. An escape for Wood cuts it to 2-1 against Meulman, and now Wood's in on a shot. Stalemate. Now Meulman with a takedown! He's dinged a point for stalling, but he hangs on 4-2 and will wrestle Nick Pica, who ran away 16-7 after early trouble, for the title. That's No. 1 vs. No. 2.

UPDATE, 11:53 a.m.: On to 189 pounds, where Poway's Ian Daube is looking to add some big points to the Titans' team score. He has a 5-0 lead on J.T. Felix of Corona-Centennial. In the other semi, it's scoreless early between Jesus Chavez of Yuba City-River Valley and Nikolai Crouch of Santa Fe. Now an escape in the second period for Crouch, and now he has a takedown for a 3-0 lead. Meanwhile, Daube is rolling Felix on Mat 4. He finishes off a very quick tech fall, 15-0 in just 2:40. That's also 12.5 points for Poway in the team race. Buchanan's Kyle Papendorf is still to wrestle in the semifinals at heavyweight, but Poway is really putting the pressure on here. Of Poway's three finalists, two will be favored to win. Buchanan will have Stephen West favored at 160, and Martin Fabbian will be a big underdog at 152, as would Papendorf if he met Del Norte's Roger McCovey in the final. So that's a big win for Poway. An escape for Chavez to cut the Crouch lead to 3-1, and now he's down to start the third period. He's out again and trails just 3-2 with 1:15 left. Wrestlers are locked up and circling. Now Havez tries a shot, Crouch counters with one and Chavez tried to get around. They go out of bounds before he can. Still 3-2, 20 seconds left. He's got a deep high crotch, but he can't finish! Crouch will hang on 3-2. He'll wrestle the favorite Daube in the final.

UPDATE, 11:40 a.m.: First-period takedown for Morgan McIntosh of Santa Ana-Calvary Chapel on Tulare Union's Dwight Flores, and he adds another at the end of the period and two more in the second. He's up 9-3 and dominating. In the other semifinal, it's a 2-2 tie between Winters' Jesse Hellinger and Jordan Williams of Placerville-El Dorado. Now a reversal and some nearfall for Williams, who leads 6-2. early in the third period. A 14-4 lead now for McIntosh. He gets the pin and he'll meet Williams for the state championship.
Some more local consolation news: Bakersfield's Brian Schoene is defeated in his 215-pound consolation quarter, so he'll join East's Peter Gonzalez and teammates Timmy Box and Jonah Cruz in seventh-place matches.

UPDATE, 11:28 a.m.: Jose Ramirez of Bakersfield did not win his 160-pound consolation match, losing to Madera South's Lewis Pedraza. That means its four place-winners for BHS (Jonah Cruz lost his consolation quarterfinal at the last second and Bryce Hammond won his by tech fall, Timmy Box lost his and Brian Schoene still to wrestle) and four for the rest of Bakersfield: East's Peter Gonzalez, and the three semifinalists, two of which have become finalists already.
On to the 160-pound semifinals, where Buchanan's Stephen West is, as expected in very good shape against Jonathan Urango of Camarillo. West leads 7-2 after two periods. Madera's James Cook — West's teammate last year at Buchanan — leads Patrick Martinez of Temecula Valley 1-0. If Cook wins, he and West will wrestle for a championship four straight weeks — league, divisional, Masters and possibly state. West has won the first three. But Cook gets penalized a point for stalling late in the second, and now Martinez is out for an escape in the third period. He leads 2-1. So maybe West will have another opponent. He briefly got himself in trouble there with Urango, who came out of a spot on his back to reverse West. But the Buchanan wrestler has escaped and leads 12-4 with a minute left. Cook was in on a shot there, but Martinez was able to spin out of bounds. Just two seconds left, and Martinez hangs on for a 2-1 victory. West wins running away, 17-4, and he'll be able to go for another title after finishing second last year.

UPDATE, 11:18 a.m.: A takedown to the back a minute into the 152-pound semifinal for Buchanan's Martin Fabbian, and he pins Modesto-Central Catholic's T.J. Belton 1:27 in! An ENORMOUS victory for the Bears, who will take those 13 points and run with them. They're in good shape in the team standings all of a sudden. In the other semifinal, it's a 2-1 lead for Merced's Chris Urquizo on Santa Ana-Calvary Chapel's Tigran Adzhemyan. Urquizo is No. 1 in the state. Belton was No. 2. Fabbian was unranked and has now defeated No. 8, No. 3 and No. 2. Nearfall from a cradle for Urquizo. He's up 5-1 in the second period. A reversal, though, for Adzhemyan, and it's 5-3, 6-3 after an escape. Now a takedown for the Calvary Chapel wrestler. He won't go away. It's 6-5. Urquizo can't escape in the final seconds of period 2, but he'll be down to start the third period as well. Optional start for Adzhemyan. He lets Urquizo go and now needs a takedown. Instead Urquizo gets one in the final seconds and finds a way to win, 9-5. He'll meet the upstart Fabbian in the state championship.

UPDATE, 11:07 a.m.: Scott Sakaguchi of Clovis didn't place at 140 last year after he entered the tournament as state No. 1. He'd like to erase that memory here by reaching the state finals. He's got a single leg high in the air on Matt Melendrez of California. Sak finishes for the takedown. In the other semi, Alex Rodriguez of Fresno-Washington Union has a takedown on Cody Bollinger of Hesperia-Sultana. Now a second-period reversal of Bollinger, and it's 2-2. It's 2-0 after one period for Sakaguchi. Example No. 1,349, 732 of why the Central Section is tough: Rodriguez and Sakaguchi met in the section meet last week — in a quarterfinal. They could be wrestling for a state championship. A takedown for Bollinger paired with a couple of escapes for Rodriguez and it's 4-4 late in period 2. Sakaguchi is trying to turn Melendrez, and he does briefly for two nearfall. The second period runs out with the score 4-0. An escape for Rodriguez to open the third, and A-Rod has a 5-4 lead on Bollinger. A minute to go. Bollinger doing all the shooting, as you might expect. Sakaguchi cruises through a quiet third period and wins 4-0. He's in the state championship for Clovis. Now a takedown for Rodriguez, working well defensively. He leads 7-4, and he'll hang on 8-7 after a last-second takedown from Bollinger. Sak beat A-Rod 4-2 last week in the quarters, so he's the favorite in the state championship.
A couple of quick consolation updates: East's Peter Gonzalez and Bakersfield's Timmy Box both lost their Conso quarterfinal matches, so they'll wrestle for seventh place. Bakersfield's Brian Schoene did win his Cinderella match and is guaranteed a state place. Didn't see on Jose Ramirez, but the Drillers have either four or five place-winners. Nice rebound from a bad night Friday.

UPDATE, 10:55 a.m.: Quick takedowns in the 140 semifinals for Lemoore's Nicholas Sierra and San Lorenzo Valley's Cody Rodebaugh, that one against state No. 1 and defending champ Vlad Dombroski of Sacramento-Nacitas. Both Dombroski and Ridgeview's Javier Sanchez get escapes to make it 2-1. They'll stay that way into the second period.
Escape for Sanchez to start the second to make it 2-2. Dombroski still on bottom. These matches are about 15 seconds apart. Now Dombroski out for a 2-2 tie there. Both in neutral. Now a takedown for Dombroski, who takes a 4-2 lead. Sierra almost had another takedown, but Sanchez was out of bounds. I swear Sierra has to be the hardest guy to take down in the state, but now he's been dinged for stalling. Now a granby for Rodebaugh, he has the reversal and a pin!!! With one second left in the second period! What a run for Rodebaugh. Escape for Sierra on the other mat for a 3-2 lead. Sanchez needs a takedown here, or another stall call. Sanchez in on a single leg deep, but Sierra has phenomenal balance! Sanchez can't finish, and there's 30 ticks left. Sierra hurt his knee there though, holding off Sanchez. He looks like he's in some pain. Sanchez had a takedown but they're out of bounds. Now a single and he's got it! He's taken down Sierra! Two seconds left, and Sierra can't escape! Javier Sanchez into the final. What a couple of upsets here at 140, and it'll be Rodebaugh against Sanchez.

UPDATE, 10:44 a.m.: The first semifinalist for the city of Bakersfield is Centennial's Seth Hicks, and he's in some early trouble against Shervin Iraniha of Monte Vista, but he scrambles out of a possible takedown out of bounds. In the other semifinal, its' 2-1 for Poway's Conrad Snell over MIch Newcomer of Laguna Hills. Scoreless first period for Hicks and Iraniha, and Hicks, after an escape, has to scramble out of another takedown. Now he has a lightning-quick double of his own, and he is able to finish. 3-0 Hicks, late in the second. Snell is now up 4-3 late in the second on Newcomer. Hicks down to start the third and he gets out for 4-0. Now a reversal and later a takedown for Snell, who's up 8-4. Looks like it'll be Hicks vs. Snell for the title. Newcomer was ranked second, and he gets a reversal to close within 8-6 with 30 seconds left. Takedown for Hicks, who leads 6-0 late. A couple of early scares for the local boy there, but he recovers nicely and will wrestle for a state title and an undefeated season It'll be against Conrad Snell, who hangs on 8-6. More big points for the Titans in the team standings.

UPDATE, 10:34 a.m.: Selma's Jose Mendoza is having a surprisingly easy time with Northview's Frank Martinez, leading 7-0 after two periods. Mendoza finished fourth at the section meet last year and now will likely be in the state final. His opponent will be either No. 1 Henry Yorba of Poway or Daniel Horcasitas of Riverside-King. After a scoreless first period, Yorba has an escape for a 1-0 lead. Another takedown for Mendoza, and it's 9-0. Takedown for Yorba, meanwhile, a double-leg to the back. He's got nearfall and a 6-0 lead right at the end of the second period. Mendoza cruises into the final 9-0, and Selma goes 2-0 in its semifinals. Yorba trying to answer for Poway, and he's got Horcasitas locked up again. Trying for the pin and the bonus points. Not going to get it, but he gets one for a major decision at 9-0.

UPDATE, 10:24 a.m.: Now on to 125 pounds, where Clovis' Clinton McAlester is wrestling defending champion Martin Gonzalez of Gilroy, another defending champion. The defending runner-up from 119 last year is Lemoore's Brandon Rocha, who's in the other semifinal against an upstart, Buchanan's Damien Arredondo. The two guys from Clovis are big underdogs here. Gonzalez has a 6-3 lead on McAlester after an early flurry of takedowns, but the Cougar almost threw him there. Instead, it's another takedown and an 8-3 lead. Scoreless first period in the other semi. Rocha gets an early escape in the second for a 1-0 lead, but Arredondo is hanging in there. Gilroy's Gonzalez had a couple of tough matches yesterday, but he has a 13-3 lead on McAlester, Bad start for Clovis to the semifinal round. Still 1-0 for Rocha after two. Arredondo was fourth in the section last week as a sophomore, and now he's challenging for a spot in the finals. Rocha is doing a fine job riding though. 15-5 Gonzalez over McAlester after two. Penalty point awarded to Arredondo! It's 1-1, but now Rocha has has two nearfall. That's going to seal it. 3-1 Rocha, and it looks for all the world like it'll be a rematch in the finals with Gonzalez. McAlester is down 16-5 and needs a miracle. He's not going to get one. It's a 17-8 final.

UPDATE, 10:12 a.m.: Bryce Hammond makes it 3-of-4 for Bakersfield in this consolation round. He beat Clovis' Cameren Kelley 3-1. That's a guy he needed two overtimes to beat last week in the section final. It's also another blow to Clovis' title hopes.

Big news in the 119-pound semifinals. Defending state champion David Klingsheim was tilted in the first period against Hogan's Terry Allen and is behind 5-2. He gets a quick reversal to close within 5-4 early in the second. This guy was a big favorite. Now he's tied up after an escape and a takedown, but Allen reverses him back! 8-6. Now Klingsheim is back on top and has Allen on his back. What a match. Klingsheim wraps up the pin at 3:44! In the other semifinal, Northview's Steven Salinas leads Fabian Garcia of Turlock 8-3. There's less than a minute left in the second period. Now a bigtime third period for Garcia! He takes down Salinas, then gives an escape, then takes Salinas back down with a five-point move to take an 11-10 lead. But there was a penalty point for an illegal hold at the end of that and Salinas gets a point to tie it 11-11. Now a reversal for Salinas, who appears to have his mojo back. It's 13-11 with 48 seconds left. Now a granby roll for Garcia, but he's not awarded any nearfall. I thought he should have had some. It's 13-13, Garcia on top. They're scrambling, with each wrestler nearly going to his back, but no points.. Amazing match, but now the refs, coaches and medics rush out to aid Salinas. Not sure if he went cold there or what. Let's hope for the best. Salinas is back on his feet. Good for him. And he has the takedown just 8 seconds into overtime! Huge roar from the crowd. Now Garcia is hurt. He got slammed down there. But he accepts a handshake from Salinas, and now the Northview wrestler will challenge Klingsheim in the final.

UPDATE, 9:55 a.m.: HUGE result in the all-Clovis Unified 103-pound semifinal. Stevan Knoblauch of Clovis West knocks off Clovis' Daniel Gaytan 2-1. It's his first win against Gaytan in three tries, and it knocks Clovis down to three semifinal possibilities.

No such trouble for Selma's Alex Cisneros, who beat De La Salle's Vince Moita 4-0 to advance to the state final as a freshman. And the most remarkable thing is that everyone in the state expected him to do it, and he went about his business with no sweat.

Bakersfield news: The Greg Kapler protest is still going on. It has to do mostly, I'm guessing, with some nearfall Kapler was not awarded just before he was reveresed for a five-point move with 10 seconds left. He ended up losing 11-9, so two nearfall points would be huge. Jonah Cruz rebounded from his quarterfinal disaster to win a match and guarantee he'll be a three-time state placer. Adam Fierro was pinned late in his match, though he led 1-0 with a minute to go. Bryce Hammond is wrestling now.

In the 112-pound semifinals, Gilroy's Jesse Delgado leads 2-0 on Clovis North's Vince Rodriguez after two periods, and Canyon Springs' Estevan Cabanas, who hasn't had a tough match since round 1 against Bakersfield's Natrelle Demison, is up 1-0 after two on Clovis West's Zach Zimmer. Delgado is now riding Rodriguez well, with his legs sunk in and an arm locked up. Zimmer is on bottom in the other semi, trying for an escape to tie the match. He gets it with about a minute left, and we're 1-1. Delgado finishes riding out Rodriguez for a 2-0 win where he was never really in trouble. He's been third twice, and now he's in the final for the first time. A shot in for Cabanas on the other mat but he can't finish with seconds left. We have overtime. How much does a takedown means to these guys now? They've spent 20 seconds feeling each other out, and now Zimmer in on a shot. But a beautiful sprawl from Cabanas, and he spins around for the takedown and the semifinal victory! 3-1 Cabanas, and he'll face Delgado.

UPDATE, 9:40 a.m.: I just wrote a big, long entry about some consolation goings-on, and it got deleted. So there you have it. Lots of technical issues this weekend.

Basically, here's the gist: Alec Dieter of Clovis gets a big pin. Liberty's Greg Kapler came back from a 6-0 deficit, then blew a lead late to lose 11-9 to Trinity's Kevin Maelfeyt. Liberty's coaches are protesting the match. Selma got a big win at 112 from Diego Quintana, but 119-pounder A.J. Valles lost 4-2 to Clovis West's Chris Martinez. After a bad quarterfinal round, Bakersfield got some good news when one of its six consolation wrestlers — right now the most in the tournament — Timmy Box has come through to place at state after losing his first match.

Semifinals are starting now. Alex Cisneros of Selma is up 2-0 after a period, and Stevan Knoblauch of Clovis West has a surprising 2-0 lead on Clovis' Daniel Gaytan. The Cougars have four semifinalists, a meet high, and a couple of wins would huge in team points. Update coming shortly.

ORIGINAL POST: Welcome back to Rabobank Arena, live for Day 2 of the state wrestling championships. We're wrestling Cinderella matches right now, and this is one of my favorite rounds of the whole tournament. If you win, you're a state placer — a tremendous goal for many a wrestler. If you lose, you go home empty-handed.

For you Kern County fans, East split its two Cinderella matches, with Marc Collier losing at 112 pounds and Peter Gonzalez winning at 119. They did the same thing last year, with Collier not placing and Gonzalez ending sixth.

For statewide fans, I believe Buchanan's Adrian Rodriguez won his match and Poway's Ryan Nasseri lost at 112. These matches are huge for team standings purposes too, because the winner has at least two more chances for points.

I will update shortly.
