The Golden Eagles soared through five matches unscathed to win the 32-team tournament. Del Oro took out Oak Ridge — the section’s top-ranked team — 40-30 in the championship match.

Del Oro opened with a 78-0 win over Rosemont, then beat North Coast Section power Freedom 46-33 and topped Reno 58-16. In the semifinals, the Eagles beat the hosts 55-11.

Freshman Austin Branum went 5-0 at 119 pounds with two pins. Seniors Connor Morgan and Corey Johnson were both 5-0 at 130 and 135 respectively. Sophomore Kevin Burrage was 5-0 at 140, senior Jesse Stafford was 5-0 at 145 and Justin McGuire was 5-0 at 215. Heavyweight Bobby Gallagher was also 5-0, including a big reversal and pin against Oak Ridge to help Del Oro win the title.

Tyler Alexander was 4-0 at 171, Casey Schumacher was 2-0 after suffering an injury at 152 and Devin Whistler went 4-1 at 189.
