After the tough loss against Santa Ana late October, the Cerritos College wrestling team has come out with a vengeance during the month of November.
Since being defeated on Oct. 29, the Falcons have dominated in the month of November going 3-0 in conference dual matches outscoring opponents by a total of 91-36.
The Falcons also finished 2nd as a team in two tournaments in November including 5 first place finshers in those tournaments.
Much of the Falcons success has come from Mike Koehnlein at 141 lbs with a record of 31-1, Caleb Gerl, 30-3 in the season, and heavyweight Juan Enriquez, finishing with a record of 27-4 before the Southern California Regional Tournament on Dec. 6.
With Regionals right around the corner, the month of November makes it the perfect time for the Falcons to get hot and gain as much momentum possible before the crucial tournament.
The Falcons are coming off big wins week after week and the success will continue to be there with the momentum and confidence that is growing everytime they compete.
Recent sports history has proved it is not always the best team that wins the championship but the hottest team with more momentum during the end of the season that takes it all.
Professional teams like the 2008 Philadelphia Phillies in baseball and the 2007 New York Giants in football were not considered getting passed the first round let alone winning the championship title. Like the Falcons, they also gained momentum going into the playoffs which played a key role in winning it all.
After Wednesday night's victory over Mt. San Antonio, the Falcons should feel good about the position they have put themselves in going into regionals and should make a strong push for state champions in the weeks to come.
