Here is the Las Vegas Review-Journal’s 2018 all-state wrestling team.
Spring Valley 132-pounder Andres Garcia beat the Sunrise Region champion, the Sunset runner-up and last week’s Sunset Region champion to claim his first Class 4A state championship Friday at The Orleans Arena.
With Cimarron holding a slight lead, Nathaniel Rodriguez scored a reversal with two seconds remaining in the third period to break a 2-2 tie and win the 132-pound region title. In the process, he secured enough team points to help the Spartans bring home the ninth region title in program history Saturday at Centennial.
Centennial’s wrestling team is second in team points after the first day of the Sunset Region meet, and will send six wrestlers to the semifinals Saturday seeking the first region championship in program history.
Valley’s Xzavier Maheia pinned his opponent at 138 pounds with 13 seconds remaining in the third period Thursday to help the Vikings’ wrestling team edge visiting Rancho, 40-36.
Nico Antuna’s pinfall victory at 138 pounds was the 200th victory of his career, and helped the Centennial wrestling team down visiting Palo Verde, 48-27.
Green Valley junior wrestler Steele Dias won the Class 4A state championship in the 106-pound weight class last season and is drawing attention from Division I schools.
