Ceres High's varsity boys wrestling program fell two victories shy of one its goals this past weekend in Stockton.

The first-seeded Bulldogs compiled a 1-1 record on their way to a top-four finish at the Sac-Joaquin Section Division-IV Team Dual Championships on Saturday at Lincoln High School.

Inderkum won the title.

"When you get to this point of the season, everybody is good," head coach Steve Festa said. "Unfortunately, we didn't get the job done. We can still earn a blue banner. We'll have to wait another two weeks to have an opportunity."

Ceres High lost 41-36 to fourth-seeded/eventual runner-up Yuba City in the semifinals.

"It's a tough pill to swallow," Festa said "It hurts because I know we can beat that team. Unfortunately, it's a one-loss, elimination tournament. We have to accept the loss, keep going and learn from it. Our season is not over."
