Ceres High's varsity boys wrestling team won 12 of 14 individual matches en route to posting a 71-12 win over Pacheco Wednesday night in Los Banos.

"We put in a lot of time and effort," Bulldogs head coach Steve Festa said. "That translates to the results we get on the mat. We can still improve. It's back to work."

The Bulldogs reeled off a dozen straight victories versus the Panthers.

Unbeaten Ceres High (4-0) will close out the WAC dual-meet season at home today.

The Bulldogs will host crosstown-rival Central Valley (3-1).

The Hawks will try to force a three-way tie atop the conference standings with Ceres High and Livingston.

"I've been coaching these guys for a long time," Festa said. "I enjoy every moment. I hope the kids get what they deserve. Central Valley isn't going to give it to us."
