Matt Martinez will look to defend his Central Coast Section title at 182 pounds Friday when the two-time state meet qualifier takes to the mats for Alvarez at the section finals.
The senior has not lost to an opponent in the CCS this year at 182 pounds. In fact, his only losses on the season have come at a higher weight class.
Bidding for a fourth straight trip to the state meet in a third different weight class is teammate Riley Siason. The senior has gone to state at 106 and 113 pounds.
Wrestling at 120 pounds, Siason is seeded third. The top three in each weight class advance to the state championships. Last year he was second at 113 pounds.
The Eagles have four wrestlers with state meet aspirations as Ben Perez is seeded No. 2 at 170. The senior won the Monterey Bay League title. Jakobie Chaboya is seeded No. 3 at 138.
A fifth place finisher last year at 145 pounds, Salinas' Alfredo Mendoza will go into the meet seeded No. 1 in his division. Pacific Grove's Gavin Whiteside is ranked sixth.
Palma's Saul Gonzalez will go into the CCS meet seeded No. 2 at 138 pounds while teammate Mike Lizaola is seeded No. 6 at 220.
Mission Trail Athletic League champion Roberto Ochoa of Gonzales is seeded No. 3 at 195 while North Salinas' Christian Antonio is seeded No. 5 at 152.
