Paulsen, Teammates Dominate at Ayala

Justin Paulsen of Santa Ana Calvary Chapel pinned Phil Bascos of San Luis Obispo in 28 seconds to win the championship of the 103-pound weight class in the Chino Hills Ayala wrestling tournament Saturday at Ayala High.

Like Paulsen, who earned lower-weight MVP honors, Calvary Chapel teammates Bryan Osuna (119 pounds), Patrick Aleksanyn (135) and David Jauregui (140) swept their divisions as the Eagles won the team competition with 244 1/2 points.

Armand Kuclukkoseoglu and Nick Ketelsleger of Ayala each finished with one-point victories in the 189-pound and heavyweight finals, respectively, to help their team to second place with 200 points. Ketelsleger and Redlands East Valley’s Mike O’Hara earned co-MVP honors among upper weights.

Harbor City Narbonne point guard Camille LeNoir will be sidelined at least the next two weeks of the season after breaking her left ankle during the December tournament season.

The senior, the City Section player of the year last season, went down in the first minute of a loss to Shelbyville (Tenn.) Central at the Nike Tournament of Champions in Arizona.

Narbonne Coach James Anderson said he believes LeNoir will return for a nonleague game Jan. 17 against Oceanside El Camino.
