High-Five: Eagles continue run of dual state titles

A dual match consists of 14 bouts.

But Saturday evening at Allen, the 2013 Texas High School Wrestling Coaches Association Dual State Tournament Finals were, for all intents and purposes, over after six matches as the Eagles had built a 30-0 lead over El Paso Franklin en route to a 55-15 victory and their fifth straight dual state championship.

"We came in with a goal to dominate and I think we did that," said Jerry Best, Allen head coach. "The kids wrestled real tough all day; there are 14 weight classes and we had four duals today, yet we didn't have a lot of bad matches."

Sidekicks enjoy sweet revenge

Published: Saturday, January 12, 2013 10:12 PM CST
Behind a stellar effort in goal from Sagu, the Dallas Sidekicks avenged their only loss of the season with a convincing 6-2 thumping of the Chicago Mustangs in front of 4,015 delighted fans Saturday at the Allen Event Center.


The Sidekicks (9-1) strengthened their hold on their PASL Central Division lead over Chicago (9-3) following their 8-7 overtime defeat to the Mustangs last week in Chicago.

Sidekicks Coach Tatu said the win was much more important than just the revenge factor.

"They are a difficult team to play against," he said. "They work hard and they are physical, so I thought we did well.

"This was big tonight," Tatu said, noting the upcoming schedule featuring two games against undefeated San Diego, along with a date at Southwestern Division leader Las Vegas. "We have to make sure we continue to win games if we want to get in the playoffs and have home field [advantage]."
