2024 California High School Boys State Finals

Respect to California for having only one champ per weight class … other states have multiple same weight champs…. With Californias population size they could’ve done the same but instead chose to see who truly is the champion ! 750 total schools in CA that offer wrestling

The 113 match was incredible

I wrestled for Canyon HS (Anaheim) in the late 80's and Poway was our big rival back then. What a great wrestling school!

Awesome! Reminds me of my high school wrestling days. Still love it.

DC catching the headgear after that win was fire to see irl

Zapeda is a savage. The kid works hard in the wrestling room. I take my kid to DC gym and always get the pleasure to see great wrestlers like Daniel Zapeda practice

Would've love to see the freshmen at 132 win it. Kid was a dog the entire match. Kept pushing the pace with his offense. I see big things coming for him as long as he doesn't let that loss deter him.

This was entertaining to watch thank you for posting all of their matches I had the opportunity of meeting DC at the CCS championship

I remember when I went to state back in 1996 it's so cool how they dim the lights an light the mat all up what an awsome experience

1:14:30 The ref was spot on here - while hands were locked around the body, the defensive wrestler was in near-fall criteria (making it legal) and they also went out of bounds. Good no-call.

Appreciate the quick upload!

Thanks again for posting this. Stoked.

Ordog coming in clutch with the commentary. CIF is lucky to have him behind the mic ❤

Great tournament!!! Loved the commentary

Toughest state tournament in the country in my humble opinion.

Shoutout to all the wrestlers this season 💯

Zinkin boys were born to be state champions. No hyperbole

Man I thought it was difficult to make it to states in VA Honestly made top 6 in Never wrestled states This is incredible!!!
