State action begins Thursday afternoon

    It’s a return trip to the state mats for 120-lb. Dragon wrestler Jesus Trejo, who finished as the regional runner-up. He competed at 113 lbs. last year as a freshman.
    Joining him for the trek to the Big Show is 195-lb. junior and first-year wrestler Antoni Martinez, who placed fourth at regionals.
    First-round action Thursday will see Trejo meeting Sean Dale of Cedaredge, a freshman with a 35-9 record.
    Martinez meets Rocky Ford senior Ricky Preciado, 29-8.
    McConnell anticipates good things in Trejo’s return trip to the state mats and from Martinez’ first-time trip.
