Central Valley High School's varsity wrestling team made history last year by compiling a perfect 6-0 record en route to a first-place finish during the Western Athletic Conference dual-meet season.
The Hawks extended their unbeaten streak in WAC action to eight matches with a resounding 57-12 victory over Livingston on Wednesday in Ceres.
Central Valley improved to 2-0 in the WAC standings.
"It's really fun being part of a team with a lot of success," Hawk junior grappler Jason Beckhart said. "It gives you a lot of confidence. We just need to get our conditioning straight. I think we might go undefeated again. It's going to be between us and Ceres High."
The Wolves never posed a threat last week as the Hawks won 11 of the 14 individual matches, including eight via pin.
Beckhart won by pin (1:30) against Rene Garcia at 220 pounds.
Jason nearly lost by fall.
"It (losing) crossed my mind for a split second," he said. "I bridged and he slid right off me. I was fast and got right on top of him."
