Prince William has five wrestlers in the Northwest Region finals, set for tonight at 6 p.m. At 103, Battlefield’s Brooks Martino pinned Son Nguyen of Colonial Forge in the semifinals to set up a finals match with Greg Flournoy from Fauquier. As expected, the Bobcats’ Beau Martino will face Fauquier’s Ryan Hunsberger at 112. Martino has beaten Hunsberger five consecutive times in the postseason, including a Cedar Run District finals win last week. Hunsberger beat Martino last month during a regular-season match.
At 119, Osbourn Park’s Eric Dromazos will face Colonial Forge’s Shane Gentry. Dromazos beat Riverbend’s Joe Etcho in a 3-1 decision to advance. Freedom’s Jorge Mendez won a major decision, 21-9, over Halifax County’s Justin Perkins to advance to the finals against North Stafford’s Jesse Wiley.
Woodbridge’s Jay Weatherington also advances to the finals at heavyweight, pinning Fauquier’s Kevin Friend in the third period, in one of the best matches of the semifinals round.
