This was going to be a tough one for the Aztecs, as the Golden Bears have represented a notoriously strong wrestling program for years. However, the Aztecs would end with the victory! Palm Desert wins in a close one, 37-35.
This is the first in school history where their wrestling team has won the Division 1 CIF-SS championship title. This is huge for the Coachella Valley and a true testament to the talent on their squad and shows how hard the coaches have worked at building this program at Palm Desert high school.
Congrats to Coach Montanona & the entire coaching staff on Div.1 CIFSS Dual Wrestling Championship. Thx for your hard work! ##PDAllin pic.twitter.com/GB0EIf2tf1
