Jacob Dominguez got the Royals going with a pin to start the match.
Braydon Severson followed with a victory by technical fall.
“He is a great example of learning from failure to become a better wrestler,” said Sifuentes
Levi Cooper, Jesus Pelet, Juan Torres and Ambrose Partee all recorded pins for the Royals.
Sifuentes said Torres, the team captain, is being recruited by several schools.
“He is an amzing example of what a great captain does by leading by example,” said the coach.
On Partee: “I am so proud of Ambrose for his amazing development and his sacrifice to become better,” said Sifuentes. “He is such a beast. I love everything about him and his mindset. He is only going to get better every day from here on out.”
